The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters

Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!

This is my first post on the rvburke site blog and I’ll try to keep blogging here regularly. I expect the main topics will range from architecture, structural engineering and free software, so, if you’re interested in them, keep tuned!.

Esta es mi primera entrada en el blog, que supongo que acabará tratando principalmente sobre cuestiones de arquitectura, cálculo y diseño de estructuras y software libre. Procuraré ir actualizando el contenido y escribir regularmente.
