A. B. Lawal has written numerous books in the PC and programming fields and is comfortable explaining hi-tech concepts in an easy-to-follow way. Several of the titles that he has authored or co-authored are set books used in many U.S. and international colleges and universities.

Writing in the technical arena has given him many opportunities to use hundreds of different gadgets and gizmos; and because she has a love of the outdoors, it was inevitable that she would become involved in GPS and digital mapping.

Lawal has been using GPS since its early days when the accuracy and quality of the receivers were poor. Even back then, however, he realized the potential of such devices and predicted that they would be a huge hit in the consumer arena.
