Ward Cunningham is a computer programmer who created [[WikiWikiWeb]], the first-ever wiki, in 1995. He was also one of the original members of the [[Hillside Group]].

Cunningham created the [[WikiWikiWeb]] as a repository of information on [http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?PeopleProjectsAndPatterns People, Projects and Patterns] related to Pattern Languages. It formed a companion website to his [[Portland Pattern Repository]]. Both of these sites were (and still are) hosted on the [[c2]] website of Ward's company "Cunningham & Cunningham."

Cunningham is known for his contributions to the use of pattern languages in the development of object-oriented programming. His interest in patterns was inspired by architect [[Christopher Alexander]]. [[Kent Beck]] and Ward Cunningham took up the idea of applying patterns to programming and presented their results at the 1987 [[OOPSLA]] conference. [[Design Patterns]] in computer science were made popular by the success of the book "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software," published in 1994 by the [[Gang of Four]]. The [[Portland Pattern Repository]] was set up the following year as a repository of documentation on design patterns.

Cunningham also developed [[CRC Cards]] (CRC stands for Class-Responsibility-Collaboration) with [[Kent Beck]], and took up the latter's invention of [[Extreme Programming]].
