Teaching Python at Apple

Episode #195, published Sun, Jan 20, 2019, recorded Wed, Jan 9, 2019

He founded the Software University internal training program at Apple and is now doing his own independent training around Python.

I think you'll find his story an interesting element in the mosaic of Python.
