Code Review by Mancio Basoc

by: L. Barrios





Mancio Basoc, a senior ( and i mean SENIOR ) programmer, and undoubtedly one of Ingenuity's pride and joy, took his turn as  the Code Reviewer of the week on Jan 23 '13.

He began by discussing his current project and on towards the main subject which is a site monitoring/ alert tool that can be installed on a web server running python.  This particular tool can run seamlessly without needing any package other than what's included in the small program that is being delivered.

Then, he proceeded to the introduction of Bottle Framework, a fast, simple, and lightweight WSGI micro web-framework for Python. Basically, it is distributed as a single file module and has no dependencies other than the Standard Python Library. He also cited some of the similarities and differences of Bottle and Django, which is the commonly used Python Framework.

Mancio also discussed an issue he encountered regarding adding a password authentication for users to update the settings of the project, as well as, to adding /updating the site's to be monitored by the site. He then talked about the solution he came up with, which is adding up functions to handle the authentication and re-employing the password encryption/ authentication used by an older version of Django

Papi, as he is lovingly called by team mates, is reliable, fast, and efficient... a true Ninja. Oh and did I mention that he can belt out tunes like some Rock God? Simply awesome, thats Papi Siyo!
