Her research there focused on distributed operating systems, which led to work in industry centered on communications protocols and middleware. Outside of work she has an interest in puzzles, which led her to take up crossword construction. She has published nearly 100 puzzles in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times syndicate, The New York Sun, and USA Today. She amassed a database of thousands of puzzles to aid in constructing and cluing her own puzzles. The desire to put a web frontend on this database is what led her to Django. She was impressed by the framework and its community, and became an active core framework contributor. Karen is one of the most prolific posters on the Django users mailing list. Her experience in helping hundreds of people there guided her in choosing the best and most useful material to include in this book.view less
