James Martin (1933) is a British Information Technology consultant and author, who was nominated for a Pulitzer prize for his book, The Wired Society: A Challenge for Tomorrow (1977). James Martin was born in 1933 in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England. He earned a degree in physics at the Keble College, Oxford. He was awarded an honorary DSc by Warwick University in July 2009. Martin joined IBM in 1959, and since the 1980s established several IT consultancy firms. Starting in 1981 with Dixon Doll and Tony Carter he established DMW (Doll Martin Worldwide) in London, UK, which was later renamed James Martin Associates (JMA), which was (partly) bought by Texas Instruments Software in 1991. He later co-founded Database Design Inc. (DDI), also in Ann Arbor, to promulgate his database design techniques and to develop tools to help implement them. After becoming the market leader in Information Engineering software, DDI was renamed KnowledgeWare and eventually purchased by Fran Tarkenton, who took it public. He lives on his own private island, Agar’s Island, in Bermuda. According to Computerworld’s 25th anniversary issue, he was ranked fourth among the 25 individuals who have most influenced the world of computer science. Martin is an expert in the field of systems design, Software development methodology, information engineering and computer-aided software engineering. He was one of the first to promote fourth-generation programming languages, and is the main developer of the Rapid Application Development methodology. In 2005 Martin donated $100 million to help establish The James Martin 21st Century School at the University of Oxford. This school aims to "formulate new concepts, policies and technologies that will make the future a better place to be". In 2009 Martin pledged up to an additional $50 million if it could be matched by other donors. This condition was met in April 2010.
A renowned expert on the social and economic impact of technology and author of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated The Wireless Society explains how fast-developing technologies, broadening gaps between economic classes, and global extremism are posing difficult challenges in today's world, recommending greater environmental responsibility and possible scientific solutions. 50,000 first printing.

Describes seven innovations which can help corporations respond to the impact of information technology and remain competitive and profitable
This book presents a top-down system design methodology which analyzes a business activity in terms of the information content associated with each process. The author is one of the most important visionaries in the field.
This guide covers the underlying philosophy of object orientation and demonstrates its practical usage, exploring both the analysis and the design phases of applying object-oriented techniques. The authors use an innovative approach based not on reality, but rather the way reality is understood by people (not computers). Topics covered include project management of object-oriented programs, making the transition from 00 analysis to 00 design, 00 databases and AI tools. 7 x 9 1/4.
James Martin (1933-2013) was the first person to be given rights to royalties from his books while still in the employ of IBM. His 1977 book Wired Society earned him a Pulitzer Prize nomination.

Reviewer says, "This book opens our eyes to see business programming in a very different way. Way beyond the parameters we've previously worked within, basically because our current working knowledge about programing is from incorrect constructs. Programming as an engineering discipline as opposed to an art form, creating opportunities to challenge a reader as to new programming methodologies."
Building Expert A Tutorial
From the Preface: "The number of programmers available per computer is shrinking so fast that most computers in the future must be put to work at least in part without programmers. In this book a wide spectrum of methods is described. Each has its place, and the ability to apply the right approach to each task becomes an essential new DP skill.
