Back to [[conference:committee:speakers-2013]]\\ \\ **Bio**: Having started in electronics back in the mid 70s I moved into software shortly after getting an Electronic Engineering degree at Southampton. I have moved on from soldering chips onto computer boards to programming them through microcode, assembler, Pascal, Eiffel and thence to C++. I am now one of the [ir]responsible architects for a too large media editing system and having seen many silver bullets come and go, am interested in programmer development as much as improving technical competence.\\ \\ **Email**:ct@acm.org\\ \\ [[2013:An Exploration of the Phenomenology of Software Development]]\\ \\
