Feb 29, 2016 · Biography. Professor Sir Tony Hoare has established the foundation of much that is taken for granted today in software design. A major portion of Hoare’s 50-plus-year scientific career has been devoted to developing the theoretical underpinnings of software to the point where its creation becomes a true engineering field.
Tony Hoare is a computer scientist who has made fundamental contributions to computer programming language design and definition. His development of what is now known as ‘Hoare logic’ allows software engineers to check a program’s formal ‘correctness’ — that it behaves as intended.
