Timeline

1963

Martin Fowler (18 December 1963) is a British software developer, author and international public speaker on software development, specialising in object-oriented analysis and design, UML, patterns, and agile software development methodologies, including extreme programming.

1980

Fowler started working with software in the early 1980s.

1986

He graduated at University College London in 1986.

Out of university in 1986 he started working in software development for Coopers & Lybrand until 1991.

1994

In 1994 he moved to the United States, where he lives near Boston, Massachusetts in the suburb of Melrose.

1999

His 1999 book Refactoring popularised the practice of code refactoring.

2000

In 2000 he joined ThoughtWorks, a systems integration and consulting company, where he serves as Chief Scientist.

Fowler has written nine books on the topic of software development.

2001

He is a member of the Agile Alliance and helped create the Manifesto for Agile Software Development in 2001, along with 16 fellow signatories.

He maintains a bliki, a mix of blog and wiki.

He popularised the term Dependency Injection as a form of Inversion of Control.

In his book, Domain-specific languages, Fowler discusses Domain-specific languages, DSL.

DSLs are said to be defined by being composable programming languages, with their focus on an individual domain and having limited expressiveness.

It is argued that DSLs can increase productivity by removing the requirement of the programmer to understand a full programming language, providing a means of communication with domain experts, and separate the manner of execution of a task from the definition of a task itself.

These benefits are set against the cost of learning a new language and building the tools for this language, siloing that results for different languages and the abstractions used in DSLs not being suitable for a task.

Fowler introduces the concept of internal (or embedded) and external DSL, an internal DSL being a DSL that is a subset of another language and can be executed by the tools for this outer language.

Ruby and Lisp are given as an example of languages where internal DSLs are common.

He also introduces the idea of Semantic Model which defines the execution of a DSL.

Various examples of DSLs are presented including graphviz, a language for specifying graphs to be rendered; JMock, a java mocking framework; CSS, a language to specify stylistic elements of a website; HQL, an object relational mapper in Java; XAML, a language used to specify and change graphical user interfaces; FIT, a language to express testing scenarios; and make, a tool to build software

The book discusses implementing an external DSL using tools like parsers, lexers, abstract syntax trees and code generation referred to as "syntax-driven translation" This is contrasted with "delimiter-driven translation" which is said to be simpler but less powerful.

Here the language is simple enough to be interpreted by splitting on delimiters and switching logic based on individual entries.

Ways of implementing internal DSLs is discussed, with attention paid to nested function calls, sequences of function calls, or method chaining amongst other methods.

2004

In 2004 he introduced a new architectural pattern, called Presentation Model (PM).

Fowler was born and grew up in Walsall, England, where he went to Queen Mary's Grammar School for his secondary education.
