As usual summer is full of vacations, spending time with family, and it seems it is always a good time around Seattle to hang out at Green Lake, Seward Park, or some other location by the water and learn something new. This summer to show our appreciation to the Seattle tech community for our Fourth year of TechCafe (YES 4 YEARS!)… We are partnering up with Udemy to try and create more Seattle entrepreneurs with successful businesses! We have a deal site of our own that is exclusive for this week only where we have convinced Udemy to offer you an exclusive 70% off of two of their courses.

The 1st, by Zed Shaw (the Yoda of Python), is “Learn Python the Hard Way”. The 2nd, by Bess Ho, is “Learn How to Build an iPhone or iPad App in Four Weeks.” Both courses are amazing because they don’t just teach you the theory behind coding, they actually force you to practice and write real apps. It’s what Zed calls learning “the hard way” and it works.

If you have an idea that you are trying to get off the ground but need some coding chops to start moving it forward – there is something to be said for taking four weeks to learn the skills to make it happen. Learn to Build iPhone and Web Apps in 4 Weeks – 70% off online courses with Udemy

This week only, we’ve convinced Udemy to bundle these courses together and give them away at a 70% discount. Grab both for $150 (retail value $500) at http://ude.my/l5WOuR

Just think – next summer we’ll be out at your new company HQ having a good time like we did last week out at the TechCafe Happy Hour @TeachStreet. We had a good time, met some great people, and of course learned to Bollywood Dance! (Geekwire has the exclusive video)

Next week (6/30 @4:30PM) we will be down in the SODO neighborhood w/3R Technology and a couple of their partners Moose Logic & Bandwidth Advisors co-sponsoring the event. Always a good sign that the catering will be awesome!! Click the “Attend the next event” link on the right hand side of the page to register…

DON’T FORGET: When you get there, make sure to park on the east side of the building facing the railroad tracks. A lot of mapping software puts you in the alley – but the RR track side of the building is where all the parking is along with the entrance to the space.

As always – we have more great events coming and if you want to sponsor or host let us know…
