Al Williams's Bio
Al Williams has designed systems ranging from tiny embedded sensors to mainframe build systems and has written 20 books on a variety of hardware and software topics. Luckily, he's as comfortable writing a SQL query as he is soldering a surface mount RAM chip. Al goes under the hood in keeping up with the latest in embedded and real-time systems.
