Mark Watson is a software engineering consultant and author of 16 published books on artificial intelligence, user agents, and Linux minutia. He uses Java, Common Lisp, Scheme and C/C++ to illustrate his material providing the necessary tools and platform necessary to comprehend the topic he is presenting.

"Mark has an approach and quality that I have found unique and superlative in my professional career. His forte is that he can put together examples that illustrate the essence of what needs to be understood and allows one to latter pickup all that theory stuff when he or she has developed some hands-on street smarts about the technology."

Many of Watson's older books are available as free PDF files on his web site.

Watson specializes in artificial intelligence, linked data, and semantic web development. He has worked on projects for Disney, Google, SAIC, and Compass Labs.
