Biography:Peter Coad
Peter Coad (born December 30, 1953[1][2]) is a software entrepreneur and author of books on programming. He is notable for his role in defining what have come to be known as the UML colors,[3] a color-coded notation chiefly useful for adding breadth and depth to a design, using four major archetypes.
Biography
Coad received a Bachelor of Science with Honors in Electrical Engineering from OSU (Stillwater) in 1977[4] and a Master of Science in Computer Science from USC in 1981.[4]
From 1978 to 1888, Coad worked as a systems engineer and a software-methods coach.
In 1988, Peter Coad founded Object International, a software consulting firm where he served as president.
From 1989 to 1999, Coad coached teams on how to build systems that would gracefully accommodate unexpected change. He authored six books on object-oriented development, beginning with “Object-Oriented Analysis” in 1989.
In 1999, Coad was co-founder of the software company TogetherSoft, where he served as chairman, chief executive officer, and president.
From 1999 to 2003, Coad built and led 350-person team in a successful software startup, TogetherSoft. Coad received 11 US patents (link https://uspto.report/company/Coad-Peter).
From about 2000 to 2004 Coad was editor-in-chief of the Coad Series[5] of books from Prentice Hall. This series of books were in the field of software development.
Coad became senior vice president and chief strategist of Borland Software Corp. when Borland bought TogetherSoft in January 2003. Coad left Borland before the end of 2003 and turned his attention to interests outside of the software development field, especially simplified teaching techniques for learning to read The Bible in its original languages.
Since 2004, Peter Coad leads a small team, inventing and developing the “Parallel Plus® Bible-study app.” Coad and team focus on user experiences that encourage best study practices.[6]
Coad and his spouse, Judy, have been married since 1978.
In 2022, Peter Coad started a new project dedicated to a night-sky photography. Many artworks can be found at coad.com
