About the Author

Gábor Szabó

Gábor Szabó has been programming for more than 40 years in a number of languages and in various environments.

These days he usually helps companies improve their engineering practices by providing training, introducing test automation, CI/CD. Sometimes this includes building internal web sites. Gabor also loves explaining things and provides training to his corporate clients and also in the academia.

Gabor runs the Code Maven site and a number of its sub-site where he writes about technologies such as Python, Rust, Git, Continuous Integration, etc.

The first main language Gabor used was Perl and so he maintains the Perl Maven site and he is the chief editor of the Perl Weekly newsletter.

The books Gabor publishes are based on his course materials. They include lots of examples with detailed explanations. This way if you can't book a course with him, at least you can read the materials and learn by yourself.

If you have questions fell free to send him a message via LinkedIn.
