Robert Cecil Martin (born 5 December 1952), colloquially called "Uncle Bob",[2] is an American software engineer, instructor, and author. He is most recognized for promoting many software design principles and for being an author and signatory 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]

Martin joined the software industry at age 17 and is self-taught.[6]

Companies

In 1991, Martin founded Object Mentor,[7] now defunct, which provided instructor-led training on the extreme programming methodology.[8] As of November 2023, he operated Uncle Bob Consulting, which provides consulting and training services.[9] He is also a "Master Craftsman / Mentor" at Clean Coders, a company which is run by his son Micah Martin, and produces training videos.[10]

Software principles and advocacy

Martin is a proponent of software craftsmanship, agile software development, and test-driven development.[11]

He is credited with coining the SOLID mnemonic,[12] a collection of software principles. The principles are as follows: "Single Responsibility Principle", "Open-Closed Principle" (invented by Bertrand Meyer.[13][14]), "Liskov Substitution Principle" (invented by Barbara Liskov,[15]), "Interface Segregation Principle", and "Dependency Inversion Principle".
