Doglio F. - Mastering Python High Performance

Fernando Doglio has been working as a web developer for the past 10 years.

During that time, he shifted his focus to the Web and grabbed the opportunity of working with most of the leading technologies, such as PHP, Ruby on Rails, MySQL, Python, Node.js, AngularJS, AJAX, REST APIs, and so on.

In his spare time, Fernando likes to tinker and learn new things. This is why his GitHub account keeps getting new repos every month. He's also a big open source supporter and tries to win the support of new people with the help of his website, lookingforpullrequests.com.

When he is not programming, he spends time with his family.

I'd like to thank my lovely wife for putting up with me and the long hours I spent writing this book; this book would not have been possible without her continued support. I would also like to thank my two sons. Without them, this book would've been finished months earlier.

Finally, I'd like to thank the reviewers and editors. They helped me get this book in shape and achieve the quality level that you deserve.

I would like to thank my parents, Lucio and Carmen, for all the unconditional support they have provided me with over the years. They allowed me to be as ambitious as I wanted. Without them, I may never have gotten to where I am today.

I would like to thank my siblings, Francisco and Marta. Being the eldest brother is challenging, but you both keep inspiring me everyday.

Lastly, I would also like to thank Paula for always being my main inspiration and motivation since the very first day. I am so fortunate to have her in my life.
