Dear Python friends:
Thank you for the rapid response, I researched the information you sent me
and it has a lot of resources that I can use. I will use some of those
resources and continue with my learning journey, I am sure that I will have
a lot of questions but I feel confident that I have your support.
Best regards
Walter Luna
