(Source Ward Cunningham, Bill Venners) Ward Cunningham talks with Bill
Venners about complexity that empowers versus complexity that creates
difficulty, simplicity as the shortest path to a solution, and coding the
simplest thing when you’re stuck.
In the software community, Ward Cunningham has a reputation for being a
font of ideas. He invented CRC Cards, a technique that facilitates object
discovery. He invented the worlds first wiki, a web-based collaborative
writing tool, to facilitate the discovery and documentation of software
patterns. Most recently, Cunningham is credited with being the primary
inspiration behind many of the techniques of Extreme Programming. link
