Uncle Bob
Bob Martin made OOP "click" for me in a way that years of training did not. He helped humanize coding strategies in a way that made sense. While I am still getting my mind around a few principles, his S-O-L-I-D principles made a connection with me, as if planets moving into alignment for some sacred or profound revelation of deeper meaning. He moved my programming skills from crudely functional to crudely elegant.
Robert Cecil Martin (colloquially known as Uncle Bob[2]) is an American software engineer and author. He is a co-author of the Agile Manifesto. He now runs a consulting firm called Uncle Bob Consulting LLC and Clean Coders which hosts videos based on his experiences and books.
