Bill Phillips

Bill Phillips is an iOS (iPhone/iPad) consultant, Android consultant, and Android instructor who graduated from Georgia Tech with a degree in Computer Science. He has written calculator games in high school math class. He has graphed gantry control hardware logs. He has ripped apart and put back together electronic document databases. He has mapped, aligned, and analyzed oil and gas pipeline inspections. There is little that Bill will not tackle given a bit of prompting.

It should come as no surprise, then, that Bill has been busy at Big Nerd Ranch. He has developed projects on both Android and iOS, and has co-written our Android course materials. He is also the co-author of Android Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide, which is scheduled for publication this winter.

Bill has written production code in Python, C, C#, Java, and VB6, on Linux, Windows, and Mac. He is fond of wiener dogs and book reading. In his spare time he makes, modifies, or destroys the following: music, food, vacuum tube amplifiers, and electric guitar stomp boxes.
