About Me
- Research interests
- I am interested in a great many things including but not limited to cognitive issues in software design, software design tools, software architecture, experimental programming, the software marketplace, programming in the small, commercial software package development, evolutionary programming, programming by demonstration, taking the object-oriented programming paradigm far beyond any reasonable expectation, user programming, software process in the small, user interfaces in general and their implementation.
