Jon Hoffman

Jon Hoffman has over 25 years of experience in the field of information technology. Over these years, Jon has worked in the areas of system administration, network administration, network security, application development, and architecture. Currently, Jon works as a senior software engineer for Syn-Tech Systems. Jon has developed extensively for the iOS platform since 2008. This includes several apps that he has published in the App Store, apps that he has written for third parties, and numerous enterprise applications. He has also developed mobile applications for the Android and Windows platforms. What really drives Jon the challenges that the field of information technology provides and there is nothing more exhilarating to him than overcoming a challenge. Some of Jon's other interests are spending time with his family, robotic projects, and 3D printing. Jon also really enjoys Tae Kwon Do, where he and his oldest daughter Kailey earned their black belts together early in 2014, Kim (his wife) earned her black belt in December 2014, and his youngest daughter Kara is currently working towards her black belt.

Fritzing

Fritzing is an open-source initiative to develop software to design electronic hardware. This software is designed in the same spirit as the Arduino where it abstracts away the complexity of diagramming the circuit, so the user can focus on the design itself. There will be a Fritzing sketch in the downloadable code, for all projects in this book. A Fritzing sketch is a project within the Fritzing application that represents the circuit being created. These projects can contain both circuit diagrams and code if the project includes a microcontroller like the Arduino. We will not be using the coding section of Fritzing in this book and instead will use the standard Arduino IDE, but it is good to know it is there.

The Fritzing sketches included in the downloadable code will allow you to examine the design of each project closer and enables you to adjust the design if...
