Abstract

This paper argues the importance of two principles for end-user software engineering research. The first of these is that not all end-user developers are the same. The second is that research must be grounded in field studies of actual end-user development practice. In keeping with this second principle, our arguments are based on data from our own field studies of practice. These field studies involve a class of end user developer, whom we term 'professional end user developers' and who include scientists, mathematicians and engineers.
