Hello! I’m hosting a free talk on Wednesday Oct. 7 at 11am about connecting IoT Devices to the cloud! If you’re interested you can sign up on Meetup.com here.

As part of my new job I recently published a detailed guide on connecting a Raspberry Pi to AWS IoT Core. If you’d like to learn more about setting up hardware like a Raspberry Pi and options for securing connections between IoT devices and AWS then check it out!

Welcome! If you’re reading this it’s probably because you’re attending my free virtual Python workshop on August 15, 2020 at 11am PT (Seattle/Los Angeles time). If you’re not attending the workshop or you’re reading this later on, you can still access all the material or contact me about doing another one!

This post contains a pre-workshop checklist to make sure you’re in a good place to learn Python and an outline of what we will plan to cover the day of. If you’re volunteering as a TA there’s also instructions for you towards the bottom of the page.

Let’s get to it!
