Many people have been working from home now that are not used to working from home. Or at least are working from home more than they ever did before. That's definitely true for me. Even though I've been working from home since March, I wanted some tips from people who have been doing it longer. Julian Sequeira, of PyBites fame, has been working from home for about a year. Reuven Lerner, an amazing Python trainer, has been working from home for much longer. We originally had a big list of WFH topics. But we had so much fun with the tips and tricks part, that that's pretty much the whole episode. But there's lots of great tips and tricks, so I'm glad we focused on that.Special Guests: Julian Sequeira and Reuven Lerner.Sponsored By:Talk Python Training: Online video courses for Python developersDatadog: Modern monitoring & security.

Reuven Lerner shares his journey for building a successful consulting business in a very narrow niche, including the advantages of serving a specific niche and how to scale by marketing to new types of clients and offering services in different ways.

Reuven took us on a rollercoaster, from his discovery of programming, his first classes and tryouts, to his life changing discovery on the Web while at MIT. He took us through his first jobs and taught us how he became a consultant. We discussed his experience as a broad T-Shaped consultant, and slowly converged toward his training business. We then focused on learning, teaching and the key skills required to strive in this business. We finally finished brushing over the history of Reuven's new book "Python Workout", how it came to be, and how it is going to influence his business in the future.Reuven is a full-time Python trainer. He teaches courses at companies in the US, Europe, Israel, India, China and of course, online. Among other activities, Reuven has been running Lerner Consulting since 1995. He is also the CTO of "Rent Like a Champion", an event-based home-rental company based in Chicago. And on the side, Reuven pushes his newsletter called “Better developers” to more than 10.000 readers every week. Last but not least, Reuven is currently doing the last edits of his book “Python Workout” which will be published by Manning early next year.Here are the links of the show:https://www.twitter.com/reuvenmlernerhttp://lerner.co.ilhttp://lerner.co.il/newsletterhttps://store.lerner.co.il/weekly-python-exercise-next-cohorthttp://modelingcommons.orgCreditsMusic Aye by Yung Kartz is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License.Your hostSoftware Developer‘s Journey is hosted and produced by Timothée (Tim) Bourguignon, a crazy frenchman living in Germany who dedicated his life to helping others learn & grow.
