Hi, we're REVSYS

We recently held a contest where if you followed @revsys on Twitter you were entered into a raffle to win one of 20 free signed copies of Two Scoops of Django. The contest is now over, but feel free to follow us anyway. We're fun and nice.

NOTE: We will follow you all tomorrow (Friday, August 10th) and DM you to get shipping information and what not. We had intended to get it all done today, but sadly client fires got in the way of that. Congratulations and we will be in touch soon!

Who is REVSYS?

We're expert Python, Django, and Javascript developers. With a vast history in scaling and performance tuning large Internet infrastructure. We've worked with many different industries and seen it all before. We're all active members of the Python, Django, and ops communities.

Here's some of the tech we work with daily or are interested in right now:

Why should you follow us on Twitter? We often share useful links we run across, tips and tricks we find ourselves, and occasionally we're even funny.

If Twitter isn't your thing, you can sign up for our super low traffic newsletter or like us on Facebook to get occasional related information. Or you can visit our homepage for more info on our services.

What is Two Scoops of Django?

Two Scoops is our favorite book on Django written by our friends Audrey and Danny. If you already know the basics of Django, this is the book to take your skills to the next level.

If you're quite experienced with Django, you will still learn at least a couple of tips and tricks.

How can I use my hour of REVSYS time?

You can use it pretty much for anything. We'll be remote, so we can't make you lunch or anything. And it's hard to get much use out of a single hour of coding, but here are some ideas:

Full Contest Rules

These are serious rules. No really.

  1. You must follow @revsys on Twitter between 7 AM Eastern on August 8th and 7 AM Eastern on August 10th, 2017. Otherwise, you mess up the code Frank wrote.
  2. All entrants must either be human, marsupial, or a vegetable with Internet access.
  3. No one from the Ministry of Silly Walks or that work in Accountancy shall be eligible for entry.
  4. Books may be eaten, but REVSYS suggests tastier sources of fiber. Books should only be eaten after reading.
  5. At no point during the contest shall the sponsor use the term "web scale" nor will we "crush it" for you.
  6. We are only able to ship these books to places on Earth. So if you're on the ISS, sorry?
  7. Entrants and winners should really come see us at DjangoCon or PyCon. But only if they want to.
  8. REVSYS will not be responsible for: (a) any late, lost, misrouted, garbled, distorted, or damaged transmissions or entries; (b) telephone, electronic, hardware, software, network, Internet, or other computer or communications related malfunctions or failures; (c) any contest disruptions, injuries, losses or damages caused by events beyond the control of REVSYS or by non-authorized human intervention; or (d) any printing or typographical errors in any materials associated with the contest. Aren't lawyers annoying?
  9. If you do not meet any of these requirements or any other eligibility requirements that we may, or may not, make up on the along the way, then you are not eligible to participate in this contest.

But seriously, follow us on Twitter
