Upon return to the UK after over 10 years in Australia I leveraged the previous 4 years product development experience by becoming an independent trainer and consultant to HP.  HP deliver many of their training programmes in the UK using so-called ‘Associate Trainers’ I was engaged through that framework by HP divisions in the US, Europe, India and Japan..

The goal of the HP OpenView Managed Object Toolkit was to improve the productivity of software developers through the provision of an generic agent framework and convenient abstractions and API’s in C++ together with a code-generator.  The Java programming language came into existence during the early stages of the MOT’s development and I monitored its development with interest to see if and when it might become a mature technology for TMN application development.

 

 

 

These interests lead me to develop a Java TMN API for the OpenView TMN platform.  The implementation required effective integration between C++ and Java using the Java JNI API.  This activity was effectively an investment of my own time in the expectation of being able to secure commercial interest from my client-base or HP engineering.  I developed an ASN.1 and CMIS Java APIs with product quality and design care and used them as the basis for several training applications that I used in the process of delivering HP courses.  I partnered with a software company based in Bangalore, also engaged in similar OpenView work, to productise the APIs and build higher-level Java component and we jointly submitted product development proposals to the HP division in Fort Collins.
