This is an important day for me. As many of you know, I've become a little bit of a film maker over the past few years. I feel like it's been building up to this new film I've spent the last two years making.

Our first release date for Hello World outside of the US and Canada is now here. For the countries shown below, you can watch the film via iTunes. The film has subtitles available for French, Dutch, Spanish (Latin American), and Portuguese (Brazilian).

It's been a long time coming! I've worked on this film for the last five years and I'm very happy to announce that it's finally available!

Unless you you haven't been paying attention to me or my blog the last three years, you know that I've been working on a film. The feature-length documentary is about my love for the software industry and the lack of diversity that I see in it.

As I expect most of you already know, I'm making a documentary film about software developers called "Hello World: The Film". I've started a crowd funding campaign to help me finish the film.

I want to start by thanking everyone who contributed to the Hello World Film Kickstarter. It's been a humbling exercise. I've learned a lot along the way too.

It's been a crazy month for me. I've been spending a lot of time annoying my Twitter followers with announcements about the Kickstarter.

If any of my readers are familiar with my podcast, you'll know I love talking to developers. I want to understand why we do we what we do and how that started in their lives.

I've been using a new trick on my courses as of late that I've been getting some questions about. I figured I'd just blog about it to share the trick.
