The Python Corner monthly newsletter, February 2021
Hey guys! Did you enjoy last weekend with your Valentine? I really hope so! But now it's time to back to Python stuff right?
In this case, this month's newsletter is right for you. We have the first version of Python running on Apple Silicon, a cool new feature for the next version of Python, some tips about configuring VSCode, and so on.
Just another thing before leaving you to the links section.
I've started a new substack site (newsletter?) where I write about everything I like... mostly technology stuff... but the idea is that will be my personal site, not a "Python-related" site. If you want to know more, point your browser to https://mastro35.substack.com/ and feel free to subscribe and comment, let's make it an interesting place to visit!
Ok guys, thanks again for reading this mailing list and visiting my website. If you like what I do, consider the idea of buying me a coffee to support this project and... see you next month!
Happy coding! :)
