A pioneer in both design patterns In software engineering, a design pattern is a general reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software design. A design pattern is not a finished design that can be transformed directly into code. It is a description or template for how to solve a problem that can be used in many different situations. Object-oriented design patterns and Extreme Programming Extreme Programming is a software development methodology which is intended to improve software quality and responsiveness to changing customer requirements. As a type of agile software development, it advocates frequent "releases" in short development cycles (timeboxing), which is intended to improve productivity and introduce, he started programming the software WikiWikiWeb WikiWikiWeb was the first wiki application ever written. It was developed in 1994 by Ward Cunningham in order to make the exchange of ideas between programmers easier and was based on the ideas developed in HyperCard stacks that he built in the late 1980s.

Ward Cunningham is the creator of the original Wiki software . The book is about how to install/customize/manage wiki systems, followed by a perspective on the nature of wiki-style, and also invented Framework for Integrated Tests. He was a keynote speaker at the first three instances of the WikiSym WikiSym is a short hand for International Symposium on Wikis, or the Wiki Symposium, a conference dedicated to wiki research and practice. Its proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library conference series on wiki research and practice.
