Ron Stephens has been programming python as a hobbyist for the last 10 years. He's a technologist, hobbyist, poet, and manager at a firm that makes hardware for satellites.

- The Pickaxe Book – Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmers' Guide, Second Edition
- The Camel Book – Programming Perl (3rd Edition)
- A book called something like ‘Hacker Revolutionaries.' I can't find it. Could someone give a link if you know where to get it?
