About the author
Katie Cunningham
15 books25 followersKatie Cunningham is a Python and Django developer for Speak Agent
by day, and a technical writer by night. While she had always had an interest in programming, it didn't turn
into a career until she started to work at NASA. There, she slowly
transitioned from gathering requirements to developing full time,
advocating the use of more open source in the government sector.
It was at NASA that she gained an interest in 508 compliance. At
first, she was only interested in getting her applications through QA
faster. Over time, however, she gained a passion for a web that was
easy for everyone to use. Now in the private sector, she is
championing compliance even for websites that don't require it by law.
She currently lives just outside of Washington, DC with her husband and
two children.

A decent introduction to Python, but definitely a book targeted at beginner programmers. Still, I was able to skim through and get enough of an overview to get started on using Python, and to get a good idea on the capabilities of the language.
