Martin Fowler is some kind of an icon of modern enterprise software development. All those books he has written and also It seems like it is quite hard to find a conference these days, where this loud-mouth isn’t speaking. And it is true, that he has contributed to the business quite a lot: work on patterns, refactoring, agile, DSL, etc.
Some (including myself) might think that this evangelist should step down from the clouds and get his hands dirty on real projects again to see what the real life is in most of the projects. But no one can argue that he wouldn’t be an outstanding at giving public presentations. Actually I think that he’s technical contributions are nothing compared to his savyy presenations skills.
I’ve gathered some of his presentations below. Go ahead, grab some snacks and good drink and enjoy the presentations. Don’t be bothered with some of the hype and over simplification of things. The way he presents issues and takes the audience is something that a very few can do. One of my personal favourites is the third set (Look mom: No slides at all)
