Software Design In The 21st Century
 
Martin Fowler
Chief Scientist ThoughtWorks
 
In the last decade or so we've seen a number of new ideas added to the mix to help us effectively design our software. Patterns help us capture the solutions and rationale for using them. Refactoring allows us to alter the design of a system after the code is written. The UML gives us a standard notation for drawing software designs. Agile methods, in particular Extreme Programming, give us a highly iterative and evolutionary approach which is particularly well suited to changing requirements and environments.

Martin Fowler has been a leader in most of these techniques and will talk about how they affect our software development.  

Martin Fpwler is Chief Scientist at ThoughtWorks, an internet systems integration and consulting company. For a decade he was an independent consultant pioneering the use of objects in developing business information systems. He’s worked with technologies including Smalltalk, C++, object and relational databases, and EJB with domains including leasing, payroll, derivatives trading and healthcare. He is particularly known for his work in patterns, the UML, lightweight methodologies, and refactoring
