Mark Watson: Java, Clojure, and Ruby Consultant and Author

I am the author of 16 published books on Artificial Intelligence, Java, Ruby, Common LISP, Semantic Web, NLP, C++, Linux, Scheme, and Windows. I have free web books and published books on my books page - lots of free stuff like my "Java AI" book, etc. I also hope that you find my open source projects on github useful. This "free stuff" is my way to give something back to the world, in appreciation for the blessings in my life. Check it out!

My schedule is fairly full so I am only able to accept small tasks for consulting work.

I provide consulting services using the following technologies:
