Sam Gentile and Ward Cunningham met up with us at the GotDotNet Code Slam event held recently in Microsoft's Visitor Center.

You might know Ward Cunningham. He invented the Wiki. Sam was one of the first users of Ward's technology. Back in the mid 1990s. They have a chat about software development and how things have changed since the early days of the Wiki.

They also talk about test-driven development and extreme programming, both topics that Sam and Ward are passionate about.

Oh, and they go through Microsoft's museum and took a walk down memory row. Ever write code for a Radio Shack TRS-80? You might like that part.

wiki is awesome.  I'd say wikipedia is a success story.  It's days of usefulness are far from over...

Update: Ward Cunningham has just left Microsoft for the Eclipse Foundation.  Here's the /. article on that:
