⭐️ "Whatever your life's work is, do it well." - Martin Luther King Jr
Hello friends!
I wanted to dedicate this month's newsletter to Hamlet Batista. It's no secret that Hamlet has been a massive part of my journey learning Python - this whole newsletter wouldn't exist without him. I know that he inspired countless others too, and that legacy will live on in all of us and the things we will achieve because of him.
Hamlet was so passionate about inspiring people to start using Python and loved to share the projects of those in the community in his monthly Search Engine Journal column. As a tribute to this, I wanted to include a section in my next SEJ post to share projects anyone has/is working on. If you would like to be included, please let me know. You can email me here, or drop me a message on Twitter.
Also, if Hamlet has inspired you to get started, or you have followed one of his amazing tutorials, I'd love to feature that too. Thank you 💜
