Plus, our 2024 bootcamp guide.
Newsletter for January 29, 2024 |
First and foremost, I want to send my condolences to any Ravens fans for last night's tragic win. That's certainly not what I was expecting. I definitely enjoyed all the hoopla on social media leading up to our participation in the AFC championship. Oh, what fun! It shows how much love exists in Baltimore from the people who live here or simply just admire it. In today's coverage, you'll learn which Baltimore tech ecosystem members will be headed to SXSW in March. You'll also get hip to some bootcamp offerings in and around Baltimore in 2024. We prepped a rich resource guide we hope you will share with your networks. — Alanah, Technical.ly lead reporter for Baltimore |
