Article on Ward

From John Alexander’s Blog, I found a link to an article in the Seattle PI about Ward Cunningham joining Microsoft. The article focuses primarily on descibing wikis, but it does mention he now works for PAG doing pattern work. I liked this quote:

“I write the seed of the idea and I come back in a week and see how the idea has grown.”

It’s also interesting to see that it took a month and a half for the news to go from blogs to a “mainstream” news source.

Pattern Master @ Microsoft

I’m supposed to be on vacation, but it doesn’t look like this news has hit the blogosphere. Ward Cunningham, inventor of the Wiki and general pattern wonk, has joined Microsoft. He’s got a wiki page up for tips. I got to meet him on Tuesday and promised not to blog his arrival until he posted it on his site. Welcome Ward! I’ll be doing some very cool things with him, but more on that later. In the meantime, check out Testing Software Patterns on the MSDN Architecture Center.

Speaking of wikis, the source code FlexWiki, another .NET based wiki, is available online. I need to dig thru FlexWiki to see if having DevHawk Wiki around anymore makes any sense.
