Code Challenge 37 – Automate a Task With Twilio

Hi Pythonistas, this week we got a really cool challenge for you. Our Never Forget A Friend’s Birthday with Python, Flask and Twilio article got released on Twilio’s blog and we thought it would be awesome to have you code up the next Twilio app. Join our challenge and if you build something serious you could even pitch it to Twilio!

How to Learn Python

Python is a mature language, easy to learn and here to stay. But where to start?
