Presentation: "Enterprise Patterns"

Time: Thursday 13:00 - 13:45

Location: Ballroom Le Grand 3

Abstract: One of the challenges of our profession is how to capture and communicate the art of software design (or architecture if you prefer a more pretentious word). I like to use the notion of patterns, as developed by the software patterns community since the early 1990's. I'll talk about the role patterns can play in Enterprise Software, and touch lightly on the patterns I've written up both in my book and ongoing on martinfowler.com

Martin Fowler, ThoughtWorks

Martin Fowler

Martin Fowler is an author, speaker, consultant and general loud-mouth on software development.

He concentrates on designing enterprise software - looking at what makes a good design and what practices are needed to come up with good design. He has pioneered object-oriented technology, refactoring, patterns, agile methodologies, domain modeling, the Unified Modeling Language (UML), and Extreme Programming.

He's the Chief Scientist at ThoughtWorks - an international application development company, and has written five books on software development: Analysis Patterns, UML Distilled (now in its 3rd edition), Refactoring, Planning Extreme Programming (with Kent Beck), and Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture. I also write articles regularly on my site at Martin Fowler.
