Dynamics Weekly #149

By Guido Preite • Issue #149 • View online

Goodbye to Dynamics Weekly :)

Yes, you read it correctly. This is the last issue of the newsletter, after nearly 3 years I decided to don’t continue it.

I would like to thank all the authors that appeared inside Dynamics Weekly, if I added your content it means it was useful to me in the first place.

Thanks also to all the subscribers, I hope you found interesting articles and authors along the journey.

A special thanks to two friends involved in this newsletter, the first is Jonas Rapp, he promptly helped me when I asked him assistance, the second is Malin Donoso Martnes, she curated the HR section in the last months.

Thanks!

Guido Preite
