🎃 October frightfully crept up on us unawares and so has the crisp snap of winter. As signs of opening up around us, we are waiting with bated breath on in-person/hybrid techie events starting up in the community.

Our [October newsletter](https://www.getrevue.co/profile/codinggrace/issues/monthly-newsletter-of-coding-grace-october-issue-2110-745852) is out, and since it was published, a few things came along after that might be of interest to you. Thanks to our subscribers and stuck with us since the switch to Revue, and a huge welcome to new & future subscribers. We love having you all on board. Part of this post will be taking from the newsletter.

📰 I’ve got some news, I have been working on the revamp of our website, and we have quietly soft-launched it at https://codinggrace.netlify.app. We will be switching over https://codinggrace.com to this soon.
If that is not enough, we are working on video content for our Youtube channel, if you want to share what we are about (or want to know who we are), this video gives a quick overview. Hope you like it? ☺️
