Author

I've been writing stories since I could hold a pencil. My first introduction into the professional world of fiction writing came when I was invited to join my mother's critique group at age eight.

Today, I write both non-fiction and fiction. My genres include mystery, high fantasy, historical fiction, and humor. I have two books published, and more coming in the near and distant futures.

Dead Simple Python dives deep into the nuts and bolts of the Python programming language. It unpacks the technical "whys" and "hows" of the language's fundamental concepts and helps you use these concepts to write idiomatic Python. Throughout the book, McDonald delves into Python programming concepts like structuring a project, the Python type system, functional and object-oriented programming, loops and iterators, generators and comprehensions, concurrency, distribution, and other essentials.
