Modern Python Developer's Toolkit

Episode #279, published Sat, Aug 29, 2020, recorded Tue, Jul 21, 2020

Python is quick and easy to learn. And yet, there is a massive gap between knowing the common aspects of the language (loops, variables, functions, and so on) and how to write a well-factored application using modern tools and libraries. That's where learning Python is a never-ending journey.

Sebastian Witowski is here to give us his take on a modern Python developer's toolkit. There are a bunch of great tips in store for us.
