Finally, before we wrap up this chapter
0:02
I just want to introduce myself.
0:03
My name is Michael Kennedy, hello!
0:05
Here I am, this is what I look like.
0:07
You can find me on Twitter, where I'm @MKennedy.
0:10
Super excited to be putting this course together for you
0:12
and happy you're in it.
0:14
So just a little bit about me
0:16
I run the Talk Python to Me podcast.
0:18
This is a podcast that's been going for four or five years
0:22
and I interview many of the influential folks
0:24
in the Python industry, from the people who create Python
0:27
to people who use it at places like Instagram
0:30
as well as, say, astronomers who are using it
0:32
to understand the stars.
0:34
So I have a pretty good spectrum of what people are doing
0:38
and what they're up to with Python
0:40
and how it's important to them
0:41
and I'll try to convey that to you.
0:44
Also, I happen to run another podcast called Python Bytes.
0:47
This is like the weekly news in the Python space
0:49
so if you want to stay up on that, you can subscribe to this.
0:52
Both of these give me a lot of
0:54
different sources to draw from
0:56
to share with you throughout this course.
0:57
Maybe most relevant, though
0:58
is that I'm the founder and one of the principal authors
1:01
at Talk Python Training, where you're taking this course.
1:04
So this is me, welcome to the course.
1:06
I'm happy to be here with you, let's get rolling.
