I thought it might be fun to show you an interview that Ward Cunningham did with me late last year. For those of you who do not know of him, Ward is a brilliant developer. He has many claims to fame including the development of CRC (Class Responsibility Collaboration) cards as a design tool and invention of the wiki.
I had the pleasure of working with Ward in the late 1980's at Tektronix in Oregon. We were working on Smalltalk and working on Patterns and the beginnings of the development style now known as Agile. Other interesting folks were at Tektronix at that time including Kent Beck, Rebecca Wirfs-Brock and Norm Kerth. It was a heady time and place with lots of passion and lots of great software.
Ward and I have kept in touch and this interview was an early one in his lightning series.
