Ward Cunningham

What am I think about this guy? Well, I’m really impressed because this guy is the creator of Wiki.

¡Trust me! I’m not kidding.

This post is about to share my thoughts on Triangulation Chapter 239. First of all when I see the duration of the video I was like ¡Oh sh*t! This is going to be boring but at the end it was very interesting. The vision of one guy who has contributed on Wiki, Eclipse and Relic is amazing.

Wiki’s has changed the way of how we look information, this platform is open source and every one can make it works. Adding verified information, helping to translate into another languages, etc. and in this way Wiki grow up a lot. “Wikipedia is one of the most beautiful things the Internet can achieve (Laporte)”.

Here’s the complete Interview . Enjoy it!

This post is about my thoughts on the Triangulation Chapter 239, where Ward Cunningham is interviewed. He is the inventor of the wiki, he contributed to the development of Eclipse and Relic and is part of the Smalltalk community.

Wikis are the biggest knowledge source in the world, where anyone can write, read and edit any publication. Extreme Programming is a methodology for agile software development where there is more emphasis in adaptability than predictability.

The interview showed me how a simple man can make a huge contribution to humanity, such as wikis; where people share their knowledge just to make that knowledge public for everyone, and how we can work together for a better society.

The video is about Ward Cunningham which is a very important person in the world of computing. He’s very known because he invented the “wiki” and developed part of ecllipse and small talks.

The video is about a guy who is interviewing Cunningham and hje basiclly talks about how he created wiki and some other important technology advances.

This post is about sharing our thoughts and opinions on the Triangulation Chapter 239 Featuring Edward Cunningham, the inventor of the Wiki.

I’m still amazed at the way that big projects or big companies started: with a simple, small idea that ended up growing and nowadays we see it as a part of our lives, a clear example, the Wiki.

As Leo Laporte said, the Wikipedia, one of Ward’s contributions is one of the most beautiful things the Internet can achieve, the idea that he had initially, some place where his company could organize information, knowledge, ideas and add, modify and even delete from the database, that was the beginning of what we know as Wikipedia.

The fact that this platform or webpage is available for everyone around the world and also in several languages, and that every language has it’s own different editions of the same article, unique articles and different community seems surprising to me.

Ward’s generation of programmers was -in my opinion- some of the people that had so much to explore, so much to do and there were so many ideas, in his case, he was succesful at taking his litle project to something macro something big, a tool we all use nowadays and became a big part of what we know as Internet.

I used to herd podcast about video games in the past, but right know I’m to busy for that kind of luxuries. I’m going to be sincere, I was hoping to get bored with this video, Ward Cunningham, the creator of te Wiki! the goddamn Wiki!

It is very incredible how a man so simple could have contributed in such a big way in computer programming, in the internet and in sharing information in general. Yes the Wiki was the main topic, but in the podcast they also talk about how were the school days of Ward, how he started to get interested in this big and noise devices that where the first computers.

Then the conversation turn to small talk the Object oriented program, that is exactly that purely object oriented.

Then the more important part was the creation and life of the wiki, how it was created, why it was created, its influence to the distribution of online information, menciona Wikipedia and how is the biggest representation of this type of data, etc.

PD: Something wird was that the advertisements where actully fun to watch, I don’t know way.

My thoughts on Ward Cunningham – WSQ12

Well, after watching Triangulation 239: Ward Cunningham the inventor of the wiki, part of the SmallTalk community, contributor to programming patterns, Eclipse and Relic. My thoughts and what I got of the video:

“Wikis are a different kind of thinking on the web”. Instead of the typical publication where the reader can’t be also the writer, wikis explodes that concept. The reader is also the core of the writing process, it’s him who writes. The community should work together (Scientists, engineers, artists, anyone in general) to construct “monuments” like Wikipedia, even with its upsides and downsides, but it’s the biggest but simplest archive of information in the web.
XP programming. This is got mainly because of Software Engineering Fundaments course with Sherif Kassem. Now evrytime I hear XP Programming, I intermediately think: An agile, fast development, project style. It’s iterative, and there is programmed feedback cycles, it involves a lot of testing. Theres is a lot of process but it can show the works basically from the start (Not like waterfall models, where nothing works until the end).
The first wiki Cunningham made was an activist site for people interested in computing patterns using XP Programming.
Among other concepts I’ve learned in Sherif’s class, refactoring, pair programming, testing were also mentioned in the interview.
Programming patterns are a solution for a problem that can be used multiple times in design and object oriented programming (SmallTalk was referenced a lot). They showed the relation between classes and objects using CRC Cards.

Well…. that’s everything.

After watching Triangulation’s 239th episode, an interview with computer-science-persona Ward Cunningham, I got the following:

Putting something out is the important part of software development. In my Software Engineering class with Sherif I’ve already seen Extreme Programming (XP), but it had never been as clear as it is now, after Cunningham’s explanation. XP provides the means to have demos of the various stages of the software, while focusing on tests and making it work.
Programmers should work for the community, as scientists, and work together. This is what I interpreted from his take on patenting the wiki, which is in itself a representation of a community effort.

That’s my take on Ward Cunningham’s interview.
