This is Brandon’s eighth PyCon, and his last chance to enjoy it as an attendee before he serves the community as Chair for PyCon 2016 and 2017 in Portland. He is a consulting programmer who started using Python in the late 1990s and maintains the Skyfield library for amateur astronomers, as well as its predecessor PyEphem. He is the author of Foundations of Python Network Programming, an architect of the Django-powered “Go Botany” site, and tries to share everything he learns with the community that has given him a great programming language for free.
