Software [edit]
Shaw authored the Mongrel web server for Ruby web applications.[5] Mongrel was the first web server used by Twitter, and inspired Node.js, according to its creator Ryan Dahl.[6] Mongrel2 is the language-agnostic successor to Mongrel.
He has also written a Python mail server called Lamson,[7] on which the mailing list site LibreList is built.
Learn Python The Hard Way [edit]
Shaw is the author of Learn Python the Hard Way, an introduction to the language intended for beginning programmers, as well as a number of successors dealing with Ruby, C, SQL, and Regexes.
