Hi, I'm Jon Jagger, an independent software consultant/trainer/mentor specialising in C#, C++, Java, OO, design, patterns, and process improvement. I am a lapsed UK C++, and C standards panel member and a regular contributor to the ACCU Overload journal. My interests include training excellence, design, problem solving, reading, and monty python (required knowledge for all software developers).

Career highlights:

  • marrying my wife Natalie and being Dad to our three children.
  • serving as the ECMA TG2 C# convenor and helping to improve the quality and accuracy of the C# specification.
  • writing most of a 5 day instructor led training course on C# that now forms part of the official Microsoft curriculum (Introduction to C# Programming, course 2124).
  • co-authoring (with John Sharp) the Microsoft Press book Visual C#.NET Step by Step.
  • converting the ECMA C# 1.0 language specification into a hyperlinked HTML presentation using PERL, XML, and XSL (I plan to repeat this for the C# 2.0 specification sometime in 2005).

Oliver Kullmann

I did my PhD at the University of Frankfurt (Germany) in Mathematics in 1997. From 1999 to 2001 I was a post-doc in the group of Stephen Cook at the University of Toronto (Canada). In 2001 then I was employed as a lecturer in the computer science department at the University of Wales Swansea, where I stayed since then. Like most researchers, I have given numerous conference talks, publish regularly in international journals and visit researchers at other places.

My research is centred around the understanding of hard computational problems, where "hard" means here something around exponential time, which is typical for most problems in hardware and software verification, in artificial intelligence and in planning and scheduling.

Especially I'm interested in the study of the so-called SAT problem, the problem of deciding whether a propositional formula (boolean variables, connected by "and", "or" and "not") is satisfiable or not. Several years ago I've written a SAT solver (which was successful at that time), and now for several years I'm developing a generative C++ library for SAT solving (supported by an EPSRC grant since February 2004).

He has joined the program committee of various conferences, and served as program chair of EuroPLoP 2004.

Alisdair Meredith

Ivan Moore

Ivan Moore has been programming for over 20 years and yet he still regularly makes mistakes. That's why he's interested in test driven development, refactoring, iterative and incremental development, and drinking tea. He has a PhD in automated refactoring (1996), and has presented papers, tutorials and workshops at numerous international conferences, such as OOPSLA, XP, XPDay, ACCU, TOOLS and ECOOP. He works for Team Optimization Ltd as a coach, developer, team lead or tea boy, helping teams to "get agile". He hopes that his Cruise Control monitoring tray icon will allow people to forgive him for developing Jester, a mutation testing tool for Java/JUnit. His contact details are available from http://oocode.com

Chris Morris

The presenter is project manager for the "Protein Information Management System". He works for a government research laboratory. He was first hired there as a software developer in 2001, and this is the first large project he has managed.

He began his career writing software in IBM assembler language, for the "Headquarters Computing Centre" of the Central Electricity Generating Board. He was increasingly dissatisfied, partly because the project was designed to meet the needs of the supplier, not the customer, and left after six years.

He then had experience in a variety of industries including semiconductor production, and then returned to programming. He spent a year teaching himself Java in the evenings, then got a job with an Internet Service Provider as a web developer.

He then realised the coding was not the hardest part of his job, and began studying project management and team leadership.

Chris is an active contributor to the Zope community and an authority on Unit Testing and Extreme Programming.

Russel Winder

I used to be a Theoretical Physicist but after getting my PhD in 1980, I recovered. My path into the real world was by becoming a UNIX systems programmer and I have been fascinated by operating systems ever since which I guess could be classified as an illness. However, academia, in the form of UCL Computer Science Department, pulled me back in, mostly so I could research into programming and programming languages with emphasis on object orientation, concurrency, parallelism and human factors. I spent some fun time teaching programming and software engineering, researching and climbing the academic ladder.

I seemed to be headed towards a cushy life until retirement when an old friend approached me and said "Oi, you, why don't you take this really serious challenge" which led me leaving academia, becoming Chief Technology Officer at OneEighty Software Ltd and bringing the ORIGIN technology into the world. Unfortunately, one of the funders of the company got cold feet (or got nobbled by our competitors) and pulled the financial plug so the company went into liquidation.

I am now an independent consultant and technical author. Wiley's seem to have confidence in me as an author as they have published:

  • Developing C++ Software (two editions, 1991 & 1993)
  • Developing Java Software (with Graham Roberts: two editions, 1998 & 2000)

and will soon publish:

  • Developing Java Software, third edition (with Graham Roberts, 2006)
  • Developing Java Software Part 2 (with Graham Roberts, 2006)

I am also writing books for Thompson Learning and O'Reilly.
