Hey Hackers!

This week we have two updates:

Update #1: New Master Class is out

We brought in Christian Heilmann, HTML5/Open Web Evangelist at Microsoft, to talk to us about machine learning and how to build interfaces that help humans do the tasks they came for.
Check it out →

Also, we would love to hear your feedback of what YOU would like to learn in future Master Classes. We created a short survey and would love your help to improve.

Update #2: Announcing the winners of the An Event Apart tickets giveaway!

And the winners are:
- Hila Chezy
- Crystal Gardner

Thanks for everyone who took part in the giveaway, and if you didn’t win — don’t worry, you still get a $100 discount with the code: AEAHACKINGUI (Use it on their site)

Yours Truly,
