Abstract
Best known as the inventor of the wiki (a collaborative website that encourages users to publish, correct, or delete information as they see fit), Ward Cunningham has made a career of distilling complex problems and seeing common threads. In the software field, he is known for his work on object oriented programming, pattern languages, and Extreme Programming. In this interview, Cunningham discusses these milestones and his livelong approach to computers.
