PyTricks - is this The True Power Of Python?

Hey Reader,

Recently a newsletter member emailed me and said something that really resonated:

~~~

I want to learn how can I use the true power of Python, not just copy logic I already acquired from different programming languages. How do I develop the "right set of skills"?

For me, programming is a skill.... like martial arts... and I want to be better in it every single day. Hopefully I will master this art every day a bit more.

So, when I discover something that "opens my eyes" in any way regarding programming I am very happy.  And it changes the way I think... the way I work... the way I live...

~~~

I love this mindset!

I love it because it leads to success, and it leads to happiness.

At some point I realized that the most productive and the happiest developers I worked with had adopted this idea of "mastery" as their philosophy.

Ever since I've tried to get closer to this ideal myself.

If you feel similarly about programming Python (or programming in general) I'm inviting you to join my 5-day "Python Mastery" email course.

It's a (completely free) course where I share my thoughts on how to truly master Python with you—

You'll get to see the mindset that will help you succeed. And you'll also hear some fun "war stories."

To take this course simply click the link below and you'll receive the first lesson via email right away:
