Speakers Sessions and Speakers are subject to change without notice Allen Holub, Holub Associates Allen Holub has worked in the computer industry since 1979 on everything from operating systems, to compilers, to web applications. He is a consultant, providing mentoring and training in OO-Design and Java development, technical due diligence, design reviews, and even writes programs on occasion. Allen was an early adopter of Java, programming in it since its release in 1995. He worked in C++ for eight years before that, and has also worked in C, Perl, Pascal, PL/M, FORTRAN, SQL, and various assembly languages. He learned design the hard way, by beating his head against programs that he’d rather not admit that he’d written, and is now a recognized expert in OO-Design, UML, and process. He served as a Chief Technology Officer at NetReliance, Inc.---an internet-security-infrastructure company---and sits on the boards of advisors for Ascenium Corp. and Ontometrics. He is also the Security-Track chair for the Software Development conference. Allen has authored nine books (including Holub on Patterns: Learning Design Patterns by Looking at Code, Taming Java Threads, and Compiler Design in C) and 100+ magazine articles (for SD Times, JavaWorld, Dr. Dobb’s Journal, Programmers Journal, Byte, MSJ, and others). Allen has been a Contributing Editor for JavaWorld since 1998, and for SD Times since 2004. He wrote the popular "OO-Design Process" column for the IBM developerWorks Component Zone, and was the technical editor of CMP Media’s Java Solutions. Allen has taught regularly for the University of California (Berkeley) Extension since 1983. Contact Allen at http://www.holub.com/allen.html
