Toolbox Talks - Python with Ronnie Sheer

In this first episode of the Toolbox Talks, we talk about Python, CoPilot, Git, CSS and more with Ronnie Sheer, the head of research and development at Hiverr.

You may have heard about PyScript, Flask, Django and have some FOMO. On Toolbox Talks, Ronnie Sheer and I discuss everything web developers need to know about Python, Python for JavaScript Developers, the cool tools and technology he uses to build enterprise level sites and breaking into the industry with non-tech degrees (that would be the both of us).

I learned so much talking to Ronnie Sheer about Python, how to break into startups from non-technology degrees, how important it is to learn to work through the dip, Python for JavaScript Developers, PyScript, Flask, Django.

Plus tons of links to interesting resources and frameworks you might not know. I'm super excited about doing more of these, so let me know in the comments what you think.
