Robert Cecil Martin (born 5 December 1952), colloquially called "Uncle Bob",[2] is an American software engineer, instructor, and best-selling author. He is most recognized for developing many 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.[4][5]

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 invented by Barbara Liskov,[6] while the open–closed principle was invented by Bertrand Meyer.[7][8]

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