Doug Farrell

Doug Farrell has been developing software since 1983, though his BS is in physics, and he has an AAS in commercial art—two obviously related fields. Doug is a self-taught programmer and has used quite a few languages over the years in a lot of industries: Pascal, Fortran, C/C++, PHP, Python, and JavaScript. He has been working with Python since 2000, and it’s been his primary language since 2006.

Doug has written articles for RealPython.com. He has also taught at a STEM facility where a lot of his course material is used.
