I have been at Kent since 1983 and have always maintained a strong interest in the teaching of introductory programming, having taught a wide range of programming languages. This has found expression in the writing of textbooks, the most recent of which is the 7th edition of Objects First with Java (https://www.pearson.com/en-us/pearsonplus/p/9780138123215 and https://www.bluej.org/objects-first/) with Michael Kölling.
I belong to the Artificial Intelligence and Data Science group.
I am particularly interested in and excited by the impact of AI on the teaching of introductory programming.
I am the author and long-term maintainer of the widely-used open source pgn-extract program for manipulating chess games written in the Portable Game Notation (PGN) (https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/~djb/pgn-extract and https://github.com/kentdjb/pgn-extract/).
