Calvin Hendryx-Parker, Six Feet Up’s CTO and AWS Community Hero, shares why Python — with its “batteries-included” standard library — is one of the best languages for both beginner and advanced developers in the May 2021 issue of App Developer Magazine.

In the article, “4 Reasons Python is Taking Over the World,” Calvin addresses the “golden rule” of development and software engineering — always use the right tool for the job.

Python and Six Feet Up

As a result of Python’s simplicity, sophistication, and flexibility, the language has been a core component of Six Feet Up’s business since its founding in 1999.

Six Feet Up’s team of expert developers use Python to implement custom, cutting-edge solutions for an array of clients, including those in the education, life sciences, transportation, fintech and government sectors.

Additionally, Six Feet Up hosts and organizes the annual Python Web Conference, the most in-depth Python conference for web developers. More than 300 people from 41 countries and 21 time zones attended the 2021 event. In 2007, the company founded IndyPy, a Meetup group for the Indianapolis-area Python community to network and discuss the language. The group has grown to over 2,500 members and now serves the Python community at large by live-streaming the Meetups for members around the globe.
