"I'm interested in large scale systems with distributed
control. I take my inspiration from economics, politics, language,
learning, culture and, of course, life itself. I'm most satisfied when I
write software that borrows from such systems. I'm working on a
distributed architecture that favors robustness over correctness"

...is the father of the WikiWiki concept and contributes his in-depth
knowledge of “all things Wiki”. As the seminal hub of the Wiki
experience, Ward provided invaluable contacts with developers
experimenting with wiki clones. In addition, he contributed the original
(licensed) source code on which the practical wiki examples in this book
are based.
As Cunningham & Cunningham Inc., Ward and his wife, Karen, teach
people to use objects — Ward is well known for his contributions to the
developing practice of object-oriented programming, a variation called
Extreme Programming, and the communities hosted by his WikiWikiWeb. He
created the Class- Responsibility- Collaborator (CRC) design method,
which helps teams find core objects for their programs. Ward has written
for Pattern Languages of Programming (PLoP), the Journal of Object-
Oriented Programming (JOOP), and the Object-Oriented Programming,
Systems, Languages, and Applications conference (OOPSLA) on these and
other subjects.
