When you think of learning Python, what type of developer or technologist comes to mind?

Is it someone looking for their first job or maybe making a move from something like dotnet

over to Python and looking for a shift in their careers?

While these are common moves, you may be surprised how many folks within a tech company

learn new languages like Python just to stay within that company.

On this episode, you'll meet Ron

Hayden. 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. This is Talk Python to Me. Episode 195 recorded January 9th, 2019.

Welcome to Talk Python to Me, a weekly podcast on Python, the language, the libraries, the ecosystem, and the personalities.

This is your host, Michael Kennedy. Follow me on Twitter where I'm at M. Kennedy.

Hey, everyone. I want to tell you about a new course we just launched,

introduction to Ansible. This one was created by Matthew McKay, a full-stack Python. If you're

involved with deploying a web app or managing servers, especially Python web apps, you owe it to

yourself to check out Ansible. It provides a declarative way to provision, configure, and evolve infrastructure and

applications.

What makes it even better is it's written in and can be extended in Python.

Check out the course over at training.docpython.fm.

Corporate and team options are available too.

Ron, welcome to Talk Python.

Thanks. Glad to be here.
