Resume
I
was born in 1951 in Tel-Aviv, Israel. From 1972, I was a graphic designer,
managing the studio of an advertsing agency. In 1981, I took a COBOL course and
then a system-analysis course and have been associated with the art of
programming ever since. I spent my first years in DP installations, designing
and implementing payroll and accountancy systems in COBOL, PL/I, Sapiens and
other application generators. I started teaching structured system analysis and
design at 1987, and developed some local standards on the subject. But then, I
discovered (like many others at the time) Object-Oriented programming... I have
been teaching C++ and object-oriented design intesively (some 15,000 hours or
so) since 1988. I have also particiapted in object-oriented programming
projects in the roles of consultant, team leader, designer and programmer. The
design language presented in the "Skill-Driven" Design site, has been in
development since 1994 and has been used successfully in some software
projects. Avner Ben.
AVNER BEN - RESUME
Born 1951, Israel. I have over 15,000 hours of teaching experience (and many more hours of consulting) on object-oriented programming and design. I have been active for over 20 years as programmer, system analyst, instructor and consultant. I have been developing a computer-aided agile software design method, which I apply in projects.
