Short Bio

Foote is a research computer scientist with nearly thirty years of professional programming experience. He cut his computational teeth in the realm of realtime scientific programming. The highly volatile requirements present in this domain led him to an interest in objects, reuse, software reuse, frameworks, components, and, ultimately, reflection and metalevel architectures.

He has been an avid member of the object-oriented research community since 1986, and is a veteran of the early Smalltalk surge that gave birth to frameworks, GUIs, refactoring, and ultimately, agility.

He has also been active in the software patterns community, and edited Pattern Languages of Program Design 4.

Brian is currently a Senior Pontificator at Industrial Logic, Inc., where he has, among other things, been spreading the Gang of Four’s Gospel to a new generation of developers.
