#86 Python at StackOverflow

Category: Technology
Duration: 01:10:21
Publish Date: 2016-11-24 02:00:00
Description: If you run into a problem with some API or Python code what do you do to solve it? I personally throw a few keywords into google, sometimes even before checking the full docs.

Why does this work? Because invariably an excellent conversation and answer from StackOverflow comes back with just what I need.

This week you'll meet Martijn Pieters. One of the top Python contributors at StackOverflow with over 16,500 questions answered and a reputation of over 500,000.
