Adrian Holovaty (born 1981) is an American web developer, journalist and entrepreneur from Chicago, Illinois, living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. He is co-creator of the Django web framework and an advocate of "journalism via computer programming".

Life and career

Holovaty, a Ukrainian American, grew up in Naperville, Illinois. He graduated from the Missouri School of Journalism in 2001 and worked as a web developer/journalist for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Lawrence Journal-World and The Washington Post before starting EveryBlock, a web startup that provided "microlocal" news, in 2007.[1]

While working at the Lawrence Journal-World from 2002 to 2005, he and other web developers (Simon Willison, Jacob Kaplan-Moss and Wilson Miner[2]) created Django, an open source web application framework for Python. He and Kaplan-Moss served as the framework's Benevolent Dictators for Life until January 2014.[3] The pair wrote The Django Book, first published in 2007.

Holovaty is also a guitarist. In 1999, he recorded an album of his own guitar compositions,[4] and since 2007 he has posted videos of his acoustic guitar arrangements on YouTube, building an audience of more than 20,000 subscribers.[5] In 2012 he and PJ Macklin founded SoundSlice, a collaboratively edited website which shows YouTube music videos alongside simultaneous animated tablature, intended to help guitarists learn new musical pieces.[6]

Crime mapping innovations

In 2005, Holovaty launched [https://web.archive.org/web/20070609122443/http://www.chicagocrime.org/ chicagocrime.org], a Google Maps mashup of Chicago Police Department crime data.[7] The site won the 2005 Batten Award for Innovations in Journalism[8] and was named by The New York Times as one of 2005's best ideas.[9]

As one of the first Google Maps mashups, it helped influence Google to create its official Google Maps API.[10] Newspaper sites such as the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times have incorporated a map from EveryBlock, the successor to chicagocrime.org, into their web sites.[11]

In 2007, Holovaty was awarded a $1.1 million Knight Foundation grant and left his job as editor of editorial innovations at washingtonpost.com to start EveryBlock, the successor to chicagocrime.org.[12] On August 17, 2009, EveryBlock was officially acquired by msnbc.com.[13] The terms of the deal were not disclosed.[14] In February 2013, NBC News announced that it was shutting down EveryBlock.[15] The service was re-launched by Comcast NBCUniversal in January, 2014 and now operates in Boston, Chicago, Denver, Fresno, Hialeah, Houston, Medford, Nashville, Philadelphia, and Seattle.[16]
