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.

Companies

In 1991, Martin founded Object Mentor, now defunct, which provided instructor-led training on the extreme programming methodology. As of March 2020, he operated two companies:

  • Uncle Bob Consulting – provides consulting and training services
  • Clean Coders – which provides training videos

Software principles and advocacy

Five of Martin's principles have become known collectively as the SOLID principles. Though he invented most of the principles he promotes, the Liskov substitution principle was invented by Barbara Liskov,[4] while the open–closed principle was invented by Bertrand Meyer.[5][6]

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