EUP , Dave Thomas, heteroclinic orbits.
Got to know a fascinating and very nice guy yesterday evening at netobjects.evening:

Dave Thomas, canadian, CS professor, founder of OTI and Bedarra
Dave Thomas
He may look not very nice or cool on this picture, but he is a nice guy. If you don't believe me from looking at the picture, ask Mariann.

I didn't hear his talk about EUP this morning because I sat in on Mariann's interview (soon to hear in oe1. we should stream this) with Adele Goldberg which was an opportunity I could not let go. She was my hero for many years.

So I do not know anything about EUP but that P means Programming and it's different from though related to XP. Mr. Thomas seemed to have had an influence on that too.

I heard his talk on teaching Computer Science yesterday though. If we only had had such teachers 20 years ago.

And yes. We reinvent and/or reimplement nearly everything these guys did many years ago because nobody taught us how to do it right. This might be good, I'm not sure yet

Two things to research in the next days: EUP (have been into that before) and heteroclinic orbits (don't know practically nothing here), that Brian Foote spits back on us all the time and that I don't actually know far too little about to discuss it with him.

a little later:
I think EUP is End User Programming
look for an abstract of Dave Thomas' keynote.
or it might be
Enterprise Unified Process (EUP).

even later
I'm definitely not going to say anything on New York here!

Dave looking unkind? Unimaginable. Oh, sure, he may have a Falstaffian countenance, but what's wrong with that? When it comes to DNA, we play the cards we are dealt. Perhaps he's a tad ursine, but, if so, he's a friendly bear. Dave is a font of sagacity, passionate about ideas, and a committed and articulate educator as well...
