Some of you may know that Apress contacted me a little bit ago, wanting to publish my book under their brand. Well all the work is done now, and the book is up for sale on their web site, and soon it will be up on Amazon!
So go add the book to your wish lists!
Thanks for all your support, everyone. If I didn’t have a decent following, I’m not sure I would have written the book in the first place.
P.S. My second video is recorded. I just need to do some editing, and it will be put up soon.

Just like last time, we’ll start off looking at some code that confused someone enough to ask the community about it:
'a' in 'abc' # True
True == True # True
'a' in 'abc' == True # FalseAt a cursory glance, there seems to be something wrong with that it would come up with such a result. Continue Reading
