Do you want to learn more about Python decorators? Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes to create a Real Python article? In this first episode, We have Geir Arne Hjelle from the Real Python team on the show.

You’ll learn about Geir Arne’s background as a Pythonista and PyCon speaker, the tutorials he’s written for the site, how Python decorators can help you write better code, and what Real Python’s tutorial publishing process looks like behind the scenes.

Note: This episode was recorded earlier. We discuss PyCon US 2020 and Geir Arne’s planned tutorial. At the time this episode was released PyCon US 2020 was currently looking at re-scheduling or a potential cancelation. Updates will be provided in upcoming episodes.
