Biography

James Noble is Professor of Computer Science and Software Engineering at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. His research centres around software design. This includes the design of the users' interface, the parts of software that users have to deal with every day, and the programmers' interface, the internal structures and organisations of software that programmers see only when they are designing, building, or modifying software. James's research in both of these areas is coloured by his longstanding interest in object-oriented approaches to design, and topics he has studied range from aliasing and object ownership, design patterns, agile methodology, via usability, visualisation and computer music, to postmodernism and the semiotics of programming.
