Dave working on his latest project---
"you know, it's a series of tubes."

Welcome! Dabeaz LLC is owned and operated by David Beazley, an open-source software developer, book author, and trainer living in the city of Chicago. I primarily provide software development, training, and consulting related to the practical use of dynamic programming languages such as Python, Ruby, and Perl. In particular, I concentrate on the application of dynamic languages to problems in systems programming. This includes C/C++ integration, embedded systems, testing, networking, distributed systems, and concurrent programming.

I am currently offering an in-depth Python class that focuses strongly on systems programming and software engineering in Python.

upcoming events
