Python and Nginx

Python is a popular object-oriented programming language available on many platforms, from Unix-based systems to Windows. It is also available for Java and the Microsoft .NET platform.

Fjordvald

Martin Fjordvald is a 35-year-old Danish entrepreneur who started his company straight out of high school. Backed by a popular website, he became a jack of all trades having to deal with the business, programming, and marketing side of his business. The popularity of his website grew and so did the performance requirements of his code and servers. He got involved with the community project to document Nginx early on and has written several blog posts and wiki articles detailing how Nginx works.
