Good morning all,
It's been a busy week here, and I wanted to share what's been happening.
First, in-between all the regular "business" tasks, I've also been continuing to film my "Mastering Logix Applications" course, and right now I'd say I'm a little over 50% done with the first edition.
I can't wait to publish it to TheAutomationSchool, and my current plan is to put it on sale for 40% off, or just $29.99, or offer it for free when users purchase a copy of the PLC Logix simulator from my store for $299.99.
I've also been meeting with vendors this week about new content as well as sponsorship and podcasts. In case you didn't notice, Phoenix sponsored our podcast this past Wednesday which is why it's totally Ad Free :-) Thank you Phoenix!
Yesterday morning I compiled all the questions from the Blog, Locals Emails, and LinkedIn and answered them in a new Q&A article here: https://theautomationblog.com/questions-of-the-week-210819/
Yesterday I also sat down with Michael Browne for an excellent podcast about "Profitnet International and IOLink," and I hope to release that episode in two weeks, which is the next scheduled release date.
Today I hope to continue to make progress on my Mastering Logix course as well as meet with another vendor about a course on their PLCs and some sponsored content on the blog.
And that pretty much sums up the week! I hope you all have a great Friday and an awesome weekend!
Until next time.
Shawn

The rest of the story:
When I originally launched Automation.Locals.com, I had hoped that it was going to grow into a new platform that would make it a perfect place to grow a new community. But after trading several long emails with their staff over the last several months, I’ve come to the conclusion that for my community to grow it’s going to be necessary to migrate to another platform.
That’s not to say I’m...
