Robert Cecil Martin, colloquially called "Uncle Bob",[2] is an American software engineer, instructor, and best-selling author. He is most recognized for developing numerous software design principles and for being a founder of the influential Agile Manifesto[3].

Martin has authored many books and magazine articles. He was the editor-in-chief of C++ Report magazine and served as the first chairman of the Agile Alliance.[citation needed]

Companies

In 1991 Martin founded Object Mentor, now defunct, which provided instructor-led training on the extreme programming methodology.[citation needed] As of March 2020, he operated two companies:[citation needed]

  • Uncle Bob Consulting - provides consulting and training services
  • Clean Coders - which provides training videos

Software principles and advocacy

Five of Martin's principles have become known collectively as the "SOLID principles". Though he invented most of the principles he promotes, the Liskov substitution principle was devised by Barbara Liskov, [citation needed] while the Open–closed principle was conceived by Bertrand Meyer.[citation needed]

Martin is a proponent of software craftsmanship, agile software development, and test-driven software development. [citation needed]
