Hmmn, better late than never, ‘eh?<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. What\u2019s the coolest Python application, framework or library you have discovered in 2009 ?<\/strong>
    \npygame – I’ve used it for ages, but I rediscovered it this year for a new use. \u00a0Now-a-days I use it for processing images (creating batches of icons, creating texture atlases, etc)<\/li>\n
  2. What new programming technique did you learn in 2009?<\/strong>
    \nI’ve used databases for _ages_ in web development. \u00a0This year a friend suggested I could use databases to store data for games and 1. avoid recompiling 2. avoid parsing 3. use a nice database frontend to manage it. \u00a0I’ve only experimented with it briefly, but it seems like a pretty keen technique \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n
  3. What\u2019s the name of the open source project you contributed the most in 2009? What did you do?<\/strong>
    \nI was a bit of an open-source waste-of-space this year. \u00a0But in the last two weeks of the year I began doing work on my tinypyC++ converter. \u00a0So far I’ve used it to put one game on the App Store.<\/li>\n
  4. What was the Python blog or website you read the most in 2009?<\/strong>
    \nPlanet Python. \u00a0Thanks everyone \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n
  5. What are the three top things you want to learn in 2010 ?<\/strong>
    \nHow to do game PR. \u00a0How to present at conferences. \u00a0How to not go crazy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Over the course of 2009 I used python much less than in 2005-2008. \u00a0This year (with the help of tinypyC++) I hope to be using (something like) python again. \u00a0C++ just isn’t nearly as fun! \u00a0I don’t plan on attending PyCon this year, though I wish I could. \u00a0There’s just a limit to how many conferences I can attend. \u00a0If anyone is at GDC, catch up with me! \u00a0I’ll be speaking at the iPhone Summit about multi-player network testing. \u00a0I always gotta thank the python community for introducing me to the magic of testing. \u00a0It’s what makes network code and mad projects like tinypy possible.<\/p>\n
