My name is Rui Silva and I'm a python developer who loves open source. I started working as a freelancer in 2008, while I finished my graduation in Computer Science in Universidade do Minho. After my graduation, I started pursuing a master's degree, choosing the field of parallel computation and mobile and ubiquitous computing. I ended up only finishing the mobile and ubiquitous computing course. In my 3 years of freelancing, i worked mostly with python, developing django websites, drupal websites and some magento stores. I also had to do some system administration. After that, I started working in Eurotux Informática, S.A. where I develop websites using Plone, django and drupal. I'm also an IOS developer and sometimes I perform some system administration tasks. Besides my job, I work as a freelancer using mainly django and other python frameworks.

  1. hacking with python

    5

    very good course hard test and well worth the money 4 assignments
    just passed exam with 18/20

  2. Hack With Python

    5

    Great course covering the basics of several elements that are available in Python. The course is short, but well put together in reference to the content chosen to present. The only suggestion I have is to make the course slightly longer and possibly add in the ability to manipulate Google using various Python APIs. We all know that “Professor Google” is a valuable resource to any hacker. The more in-depth knowledge we have of this resource the better! Thanks!!

  3. I think this course great
