Martin Fowler

For all of my career I've been interested in the design and architecture of software systems, particularly those loosely classed as Enterprise Applications. I firmly believe that poor software design leads to software that is difficult to change in response to growing needs, and encourages buggy software that saps the productivity of computer users everywhere. I'm always trying to find out what designs are effective, what approaches lead people into trouble, how we can organize our work to do better designs, and how to communicate what I've learned to more people. My books and website are all ways in which I can share what I learn and I'm glad I've found a way to make a living doing this.
