Alan D. Moore is a data analyst and software developer who has been solving problems with Python since 2006. He's developed both open source and private code using frameworks like Django, Flask, Qt, and, of course, Tkinter, and contributes to various open source Python and Javascript projects.
Alan maintains a blog by the name alandmoore, where he writes mainly about Python, Linux, free software, and his home studio recordings.
Alan lives in Franklin, Tennessee, where he works for the county government, and with his wife, Cara, raises a crew of children who are just as geeky as their dad.
Thanks to my wife, Cara, for her support; Caspian, for listening to me ramble about Python; Mark Soper, Tom Potter, Gayle Moore, and Albert Moore for the wise advice; David Andrews for his expertise; Alok Dhuri, Priyanka Sawant, Vibhuti Gawde, and the Packt team for their hard work and patience; and all the helpful people in the Python and Tkinter communities.
David Andrews is CTO at a small but growing healthcare technology startup. He has spent many years as a consultant developer in several different industries including sports, finance, publishing, and insurance. His expertise lies in process automation and identifying technological solutions to core business inefficiencies.
David operates his own consultancy group, Andrews Innovations, in Nashville, TN, primarily specializing in bringing startup ideas to fruition for small businesses, including custom development of mobile applications, websites, and SaaS offerings.
I would like to thank Alan particularly for involving me in this process. It has been a true honor. I would also like to thank the good people involved in the publishing process for their patience and guidance as we worked through this.
