            <h1>Introduction</h1>


    <p>You're knee deep in learning the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a>
programming language. The syntax is beginning to make sense. The first
few &quot;AHA!&quot; moments are hitting you. Now you are excited for direction to learn
more.</p>
<p>Now what? Definitely read Kenneth Reitz's
<a class="reference external" href="http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/">The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Python</a>
If you're not coming from a development background, you may find this post on
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.mattmakai.com/learning-python-for-non-developers.html">Learning Python</a>
useful.</p>
<p>This guide has a different focus from the above resources. Here I
focus on explaining several ways of setting up a Python <em>web application</em>
stack from server infrastructure through JavaScript execution on a user's
browser.</p>
<div class="section" id="about-the-author">
<h2>About the Author</h2>
<p>I'm <a class="reference external" href="http://www.mattmakai.com/">Matt Makai</a> and I solve problems by
developing software. I often use Python and occasionally work with
languages in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) stack.</p>
<p>In 2013 I will be traveling to 30 cities in the United States to visit with
tech companies, attend and speak at tech meetups, and blog from an experienced
software developer's perspective about the current state of technology in the
United States. If you're reading this guide then you're likely someone I'm
interested in meeting during my trip.  Send me an email at
<a class="reference external" href="mailto:matthew.makai&#64;gmail.com">matthew.makai&#64;gmail.com</a> or
<a class="reference external" href="https://twitter.com/makaimc">message me on Twitter</a>. Read more about
my upcoming trip that will take place between March 9 and August 15, 2013 at
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.codingacrossamerica.com/about.html">Coding Across America</a>.</p>
<p>If there are typos, inaccurate statements, or general areas for improvement
that you see in this guide, please issue a
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/makaimc/fullstackpython.github.com/pull/new/gh-pages">pull request on this website's Github repository</a>. Thank you!</p>
