Publications

My publications are available from the University of Kent's Academic Repository.

Research Interests

I belong to the following research groups:

I mainly work on the Oracle funded project researching and developing IDEs for the teaching and learning of OO programming in Java, which produces BlueJ and Greenfoot. For a long time, I've been responsible for the extensions architecture and API, and I'm currently particularly interested in the role of mobile devices in teaching and learning programming, hence BlueJ's Java ME support.

I currently teach on some of our advanced C++ and Java courses, and about software development frameworks (IDEs and so on) and mobile devices.

As well as being an academic in Computing, I'm the sub-Dean and Director of Learning and Teaching for the University's Faculty of Sciences.

Microcosmographia Academica

A guide for the young academic politician first published in 1908, but just as relevant now as it was then. The text is online here.

Unix adverts

Here's the oldest advert I know for Unix bookshelves. It's from "Housewife" magazine, p.127, April 1941, Vol 3 No 4, published by Hulton Press, London.

Dennis Ritchie has collected another ad for this product, which is included along with other examples of the ubiquity of Unix, on his Autres Unix, autres moeurs page.
