López Félix - Mastering Python regular expressions : leverage regular expressions in Python even for the most complex features

Flix Lpez started his career in web development before moving to software in the currency exchange market, where there were a lot of new security challenges. Later, he spent four years creating an IDE to develop games for hundreds of different mobile device OS variations, in addition to creating more than 50 games. Before joining ShuttleCloud, he spent two years working on applications with sensor networks, Arduino, ZigBee, and custom hardware. One example is an application that detects the need for streetlight utilities in major cities based on existing atmospheric brightness. His first experience with Python was seven years ago, He used it for small scripts, web scrapping, and so on. Since then, he has used Python for almost all his projects: websites, standalone applications, and so on. Nowadays, he uses Python along with RabbitMQ in order to integrate services.

He's currently working for ShuttleCloud, an U.S.-based startup, whose technology is used by institutions such as Stanford and Harvard, and companies such as Google.

I would like to thank @panchoHorrillo for helping me with some parts of the book and especially my family for supporting me, despite the fact that I spend most of my time with my work ;)

Vctor Romero currently works as a solutions architect at MuleSoft, Inc. He started his career in the dotcom era and has been a regular contributor to open source software ever since. Originally from the sunny city of Malaga, Spain, his international achievements include integrating the applications present in the cloud storage of a skyscraper in New York City, and creating networks for the Italian government in Rome.

I would like to thank my mom for instilling the love of knowledge in me, my grandmother for teaching me the value of hard work, and the rest of my family for being such an inspiration. I would also like to thank my friends and colleagues for their unconditional support during the creation of this book.

Mohit Goenka graduated from the University of Southern California (USC) with an M.Sc. in computer science. His thesis emphasized on Game Theory and Human Behavior concepts as applied in real-world security games. He also received an award for academic excellence from the Office of International Services at USC. He has showcased his presence in various realms of computers, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, path planning, multiagent systems, neural networks, computer vision, computer networks, and operating systems.

During his years as a student, Mohit won multiple competitions cracking codes and presented his work on Detection of Untouched UFOs to a wide audience. Not only is he a software developer by profession, but coding is also his hobby. He spends most of his free time learning about new technology and grooming his skills.

What adds a feather to his cap is Mohit's poetic skills. Some of his works are part of the University of Southern California Libraries archive under the cover of The Lewis Carroll Collection . In addition to this, he has made significant contributions by volunteering his time to serve the community.

Jing (Dave) Tian is now a graduate research fellow and a Ph.D student in the computer science department at the University of Oregon. He is a member of OSIRIS lab. His research direction involves system security, embedded system security, trusted computing, and static analysis for security and virtualization. He also spent a year on artificial intelligence and machine learning direction, and taught the Intro to Problem Solving using Python class in the department. Before that, he worked as a software developer at Linux Control Platform (LCP) group in the Alcatel-Lucent (formerly Lucent Technologies) research and development for around four years. He has got B.S. and M.E. degrees from EE in China.

I would like to thank the author of the book, who has done a good job for both Python and regular expressions. I would also like to thank the editors of the book, who made this book perfect and offered me the opportunity to review such a nice book.
