JD Warren is a maker at heart and has been since he can remember. As a child he took apart everything he got his hands on and has since been putting things back together. His recent interest in electronics was propelled by the popular Arduino microcontroller platform that makes it easy for someone with very little or no programming experience to easily get started creating awesome electronics/art/robotics with a very small learning curve. He currently lives in Birmingham, Alabama with his wife and 2 cats. By day, he works as a software developer for Isotope11, drinking Dr. Pepper and writing Ruby - by night, he builds robots and writes about them.His website - prototyperobotics.com, is there to supply a location for updates and information about current projects and his recent book "Arduino Robotics." He is happy to answer any questions at: johndavid400 at gmail dot com.
