Red Hat Developer Newsletter - September 2014
Welcome to the Red Hat® Developer Newsletter.
It's that time of the year when (most) everyone is back to school, learning, sharing (including colds—yuck), and tests. And the temperatures are cooler. Plus, it's the time to meet up with friends and be part of the many clubs like sports, math, music, and more.
It's not unlike the open source world. Except we do it year-round. There are always new technologies to learn about, and source code to share—and don't forget to test. :-) But instead of cooler temperatures, we're enjoying working with cooler technologies and communities.
Keep yearning and learning—there's so much to know. Have you joined a new community lately? Or attended a meet-up? Be on the lookout for Red Hatters wherever you go.
Coming next month: coding and pumpkins. Stay tuned. ;-)
If you have any questions or requests for topics, please reply to this email. Enjoy the articles, and happy coding.
