Martin Fowler is a prolific and highly readable technical author.

I am a big fan of his writings for some time now, starting with UML Distilled and most recently I have enjoyed reading his Patterns of Enterprise Archictecture.

I am pleasantly surprised to see him at Ruby Conf 2005. I hope I get a chance to get a photo with him and his authograph on my Programming Ruby book (alas I don’t have any of his books along with me here in San Diego)
