“Longtime programming guru Robert C. Martin talks to Cameron
Laird about his years in the industry and his latest passion:
extreme programming. Runs March 13 through 15.”

“XP! Patterns! UML! Java! C++! OOD! SE! For most of the last
thirty years, Bob has worked full-time right at the center of
modern programming practice. His specialties and concerns have been
exactly those of the “silent majority” of professional developers:
how do I use STL? Should our team practice Extreme Programming?
Which analysis methodology is effective?”

“Throughout his career, Bob has been a working programmer
himself, informing his “outreach” as an author, editor, publisher,
manager, entrepreneur, pundit, and trainer. Among his most
influential and recognized books are Designing Object Oriented C++
Applications …, Pattern Languages of Program Design 3, and XP in
Practice.”
