SPaMCAST 25 - Booch,
Omnibus Framework
A few hours late . . . for some reason Audacity and Vista had a wrestling match this afternoon. A couple of reinstalls later we are back in action however I think the interview and essay might be the some of the best of year one! Show 25 features an interview with Grady
Booch. The interview covers topics
ranging from high ceremony processes, anarchy, and organizational governance to
virtual worlds. Humboldt Curve and even
Moore’s Law even make appearances.
Grady is recognized internationally for his
innovative work on software architecture and software engineering. A renowned
visionary, he has devoted his life's work to improving the effectiveness of
software developers worldwide. Grady served as Chief Scientist of Rational Software Corporation since its
founding in 1981 and continues to serve in that capacity within IBM. Grady is one of the original authors of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and was also
one of the original developers of several of Rational's products. Grady has
served as architect and architectural mentor for numerous complex
software-intensive systems around the world in just about every domain
imaginable.
Grady is the author of six best-selling books, including the UML Users Guide
and the seminal Object-Oriented Analysis with Applications. He has published
several hundred articles on software engineering, including papers published in
the early '80s that originated the term and practice of object-oriented design
