http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~wcook/" target="_blank William Cook is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Sciences at <a title="University of Texas at Austin http://www.utexas.edu/" target="_blank The University of Texas at Austin . His research focuses on object-oriented programming, programming language design, and the interaction between programming languages and databases. William was the Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of Allegis Corporation, where he was chief architect for several award-winning products, including the eBusiness Suite at Allegis, the Writers Solution for Prentice Hall. William also invented the http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/" target="_blank AppleScript language while at Apple Computer.
Williams current research projects include: http://enso-lang.org/ Ensō : theoretically sound and practical reformulation of the concepts of model-driven software development http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~wcook/projects/batches/index.htm Batches : a new approach to RPC, database access (SQL clients), and web services http://orc.csres.utexas.edu/ Orc : a language for structured concurrency and internet programming http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~wcook/Civet/ Hybrid Partial Evaluation <span>: a practical approach to partial evaluation in object-oriented languages
Here, we discuss Williams colorful past, his thoughts on object orientation, Orc, hybrid partial evaluation, and more. He and his team of talented students are pushing the envelope. Tune in. <span>Thanks for spending time with Channel 9, William! Recently, Channel 9 was invited to attend the great http://www.splashcon.org/2011/" target="_blank SPLASH conference . What is SPLASH? Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications: Software for Humanity . A big thanks to the SPLASH event organizers for inviting me and my camera to engage some key computer scientists and engineers in geeky, fun conversation! SPLASH is a great event! I learned a ton and met many amazing computer scientists and students. SPLASH is an annual conference that embraces all aspects of software construction and delivery, and that joins all factions of programming technologies. Since 2010 SPLASH is the umbrella for OOPSLA and Onward!
