I didn't find Robert Martin in the long list of acknowledgements<br>
in the preface to the second edition. But any such acknowledgement<br>
would certainly be to Bob Martin, a savvy Bell Labs executive whose<br>
advice was always welcome. He is acknowledged in Aho and<br>
Ullman's "Theory of Parsing, Translation, and Compiling", but not<br>
in the Dragon Book. I have never seen a Robert Martin book on<br>
programming; I probably would have were it written by Bob.<br></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Sorry, I mis-wrote.
