Yesterday was a beautiful day but it was nothing compared to what happened to me today… I worked side by side with one of the greatest developers out there: Alex Martelli, a C++ master and a Python master too. I only say that he’s one of the top contributor in the Python community, he wrote two books for O’Reilly: Python in a Nutshell and Python Cookbook. He’s also involved in a plethora of Python-based projects like Anygui, Python itself and the amazing PyPy. He’s also one of the board directors of Python Business Forum and last but not least he steadily works for Strakt, a Swedish company which gave (and give too) very much to the Python community. I’m very happy (also are the people who were there today like my friend Valentino Volonghi) and honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with a “big head” like him and…yeah not much to say now. I’m happy. Workin’ with this kind of sotfware guys (he has a 25+ years experience on software development, he worked for IBM Research and Texas Instruments) is always a great thing for young developers like me.
