Welcome. I am a consultant, author, and a leader and designer of seminars, specializing in the programming
languages C, C++, C++/CLI, C#, Java,TM
and Visual Basic .NET.TM I am also involved in a number of U.S. and
international standards committees.
News
- At its recent Plenary, ISO/IEC JTC 1
appointed me to a 3-year term as chair of
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22, the
committee that oversees ISO programming language and environment standards
development.
- Office Open
XML: In November 2008, IS 29500, "Office Open XML", was
published. This standard is the successor to the 2006 version of
ECMA-376. In December 2008, Ecma published the 2nd edition of ECMA-376, which is technically
equivalent to IS 29500. These standards
are based on
the XML produced by the Microsoft Office 12 suite. Maintenance is
being handled by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34
WG4.
I serve as editor of these standards. All 4
Parts of IS 29500 can be
downloaded for free.
-
XML Paper Specification (XPS): In June 2007, Ecma approved the
creation of a new Technical Committee,
TC46, to
produce a standard. Copies of working drafts of TC46's work can be
obtained
here. I serve as editor of this standard.
