Dave working on his latest project--
"you know, it's a series of tubes."

Dabeaz LLC is David Beazley, an independent software developer, book author, and trainer living in the city of Chicago. I primarily work on programming tools, provide custom software development, and teach practical courses for software developers, scientists, and engineers. I'm probably best known for my work with the Python programming language where I have created several open-source packages (e.g., Swig and PLY). I am also the author of the Python Essential Reference.
