We’re now 385! Thank you so much for being part of The Coder Cafe. I kept working to make sure I had a comfortable buffer of posts. For now, I already have the next seven weeks written and scheduled. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to add in the comments any feedback you might have. Any feedback is good feedback!
Please remember that next week will be the last free week (and the last one to enjoy the 50% off a paid subscription). Starting after that, free subscribers will get access to only one post per week, three excerpts, and no recaps.
Next week, the theme will be… database fundamentals! 🎉
