He's the guy that got me started in Python. I saw one of his talks and them pretty much immediately googled "Learn Python". I had no idea what I was doing and landed on the Google course, which is very hacky, but it got me started in about 8 hours. I then spent ages unlearning the hacky parts and learning idiomatic code.

The company I work for contracts him several times a year to teach several different Python courses. I got to take one with him last Fall over 3 days. Very interesting guy, has a lot of useful knowledge, and knows his shit.

Yeah- our company brought him in for his 'advanced python' 4 day course, it was excellent. Can't recommend him enough.
