William Harrington - Learning Raspbian

William Harrington lives and works at his family's cattle station, Olga Downs, in northwest Queensland, Australia. He attended university at James Cook University, Townsville. At the age of 20, he established his own company, Harrington Systems Electronics, which sells the NLIS RFID tag reader The Pipe Reader that he designed and manufactures. He also received the AgForce President's Innovation Award in 2005. In 2006, he graduated with honors as a computer systems engineer and received the Queensland Primary Industries Young Achiever Award. Since then, he has gone on to design the uSee remote monitoring system, a revolutionary and low-cost remote monitoring solution.

Having a home-based company has become part of a unique diversification strategy for the family and has provided them the opportunity to stay on the land. Due to a never-ending passion for technology, William speaks regularly on many topics, so he will bring a futuristic version of the technology that is possible in the next decade.

Since 2011, he has also been a director and programmer for Farm Apps Pty Ltd, developing smartphone and tablet apps that increase farming efficiency.

He enjoys travelling and brewing beer at home.

William works alongside his wife Hollie, having recently welcomed their young son, Jack, into the world.

I would like to thank my wife, Hollie, for her love and support throughout the process of writing this book. I would also like to thank our son, Jack, for reminding us that he is there, along with the rest of my family, Peter, Carmel, Emily, and Grace!

Robin David is a technology enthusiast who is passionate about computer security and electronics. His background in computer science and his experience in Linux administration, especially Debian, inevitably led him to use Raspbian as the operating system for Raspberry-Pi-related projects. From his point of view, the Raspberry Pi is currently the best prototyping platform, which brings new perspectives to experimenting and creating small and lightweight projects at a low cost.

That's why he was glad to participate in the review of this book, which is a great introduction to Raspbian for any newcomers to the Linux ecosystem and the Raspberry Pi world.

I would to thank everyone participating in the Raspberry Pi community and more generally, all the people who encourage open source initiatives as well as share ideas, projects, and efforts in order to make the Internet a better and safer place.
