What it does
Welcome! This is a publication for experienced programmers that want to learn Python in a concise and efficient way, cutting to the chase. This is what *I* would like to read if I wanted to start programming in Python today, after being a professional, full time developer for more than 10 years. There are plenty of resources to learn how to use Python, but they’re all tailored for beginners. They don’t teach THE language, they teach how to code, USING Python as a language .

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
