Publications

My publications are available from the Computer Science department publications repository.

Research Interests

I belong to the following research groups:

• Computing Education Group

I mainly work on the Sun Microsystems funded project researching and developing IDEs for the teaching and learning of OO programming in Java, which produces BlueJ and Greenfoot. At the moment, I'm particularly responsible for the extensions architecture and API, BlueJ's Java ME support, and the collaboration with NetBeans to produce a plugin to help users move from BlueJ to NetBeans.

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.
