For the tech-savvy folks who first experienced Ward’s wiki, it was rather familiar—it closely mirrored the conventions used for keywords in computer programming. In time, CamelCase would become quite commonplace even in the commercial world. YouTube, MySpace, LiveJournal, and other arbitrary mixes of upper- and lowercase have become part of the dot-com lexicon. On March 25, 1995, Cunningham launched his WikiWikiWeb creation on c2 .com, and invited folks to visit. More importantly, he asked people to edit and contribute to the site what they knew about programming and software engineering. They would not need an account or password, which was quite odd even for computer veterans. There would be no gatekeeper, no central editor to submit to.

…

People weren’t afraid of trying to edit the wiki, because nothing was ever permanently lost or destroyed. Pages could be resurrected and reverted back to their original state. Finally, after eight years of waiting, he had an easy to edit, networked, collaborative resource that people could share in creating. Cunningham’s WikiWikiWeb (more affectionately known as Ward’s Wiki at http://c2.com/cgi/wiki) became a curiosity and a central location for programmers interested in patterns in computer code. He would later dub it the Portland Pattern Repository, as it allowed people to individually contribute to it. WikiWikiWeb became popular not just for the computer programming knowledge that accumulated, but also because of the wiki community that arose from it.

Clean Agile: Back to Basics by Robert C. Martin

Craig Larman and Vic Basili wrote a history that is summarized on Ward Cunningham’s wiki,2 and also in Larman’s book, Agile & Iterative Development: A Manager’s Guide.3 But Agile was not the only game in town. Indeed, there was a competing methodology that had enjoyed considerable success in manufacturing and industry at large: Scientific Management. 2. Ward’s wiki, c2.com, is the original wiki—the first ever to have appeared in the internet. Long may it be served. 3. Larman, C. 2004. Agile & Iterative Development: A Manager’s Guide. Boston, MA: Addison-Wesley. Scientific Management is a top-down, command-and-control approach. Managers use scientific techniques to ascertain the best procedures for accomplishing a goal and then direct all subordinates to follow their plan to the letter.

Then Came Continuous Build In 2001, ThoughtWorks changed the game significantly. They created CruiseControl,7 the first continuous build tool. I remember Mike Two8 giving a late-night lecture about this at a 2001 XP Immersion. There’s no recording of that speech, but the story went something like this: 7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CruiseControl 8. http://wiki.c2.com/?MikeTwo CruiseControl allows the checkin time to shrink down to a few minutes. Even the most minor change is quickly integrated into the mainline. CruiseControl watches the source code control system and kicks off a build every time any change is checked in. As part of the build, CruiseControl runs the majority of the automated tests for the system and then sends email to everyone on the team with the results.

No cold houses nor dark thoughts. No complaints about Jean and Joan and who knows who. Everybody gets 30 seconds or so to answer those three questions. Then the meeting is over and everyone returns to work. Done. Finito. Capisce? Perhaps the best description of the standup meeting is on Ward’s wiki: http://wiki.c2.com/?StandUpMeeting. Pigs and Chickens? I won’t repeat the ham-and-eggs story here. You can look it up in the footnote10 if you are interested. The gist is that only developers should speak at the standup. Managers and other folks may listen in but should not interject. 10. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chicken_and_the_Pig From my point of view, I don’t care who speaks so long as everyone follows the same three-question format and the meeting is kept to about 10 minutes.

Why The wiki approach has unleashed a torrent of creativity on the Web and seems to have captured in its principles the fundamental grain of digital, electronic, web-enabled collaboration. Related patterns “Learn from Games” on page 36 “Ongoing Sharing” on page 239 Chapter 17 As seen on WikiWikiWeb (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki) Crowdsourcing What Some jobs are too big for the immediate group of engaged collaborators to manage on its own. The community will benefit if the interface provides a way to break a large project into smaller pieces and engage and give incentives to a wider group of people (or “crowd”) to tackle those smaller pieces (Figure 12-15).

Files=1, Tests=2, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.07 cusr + 0.01 csys = 0.08 CPU) You can take this technique a step further and write test cases in a separate (non-Perl) file and load that file as the %tests hash. Then, you can have someone other than a programmer to write your test cases. If you choose to follow this route, then you should take a look at FIT (http://fit.c2.com/), and the Test::FITesque module on CPAN. Testing a database ChatStat is a pretty database-heavy application, so there's no way to avoid testing the database part. We can make testing the database less painful by providing an easy way for creating an empty database just for testing. This is easy to do with SQLite; we just create a temporary database, deploy our schema to it, run the tests, and then delete the database.

Some hard-fought knowledge about software development is not intuitive. The idea that you can design the entire software up front, and then just transcribe it seems logical, but it doesn’t work in the real world of constant change. Fortunately, a giant catalog of nonintuitive software lore exists in the Anti Patterns catalog (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki? AntiPatternsCatalog). This is the ancient lore of software. Rather than gnashing your teeth in frustration when your boss is forcing you to use a library of subquality code, point out to him that he’s falling into the “Standing on the Shoulder of Midgets” anti pattern, and he’ll see that you aren’t the only one who thinks it’s a bad idea.

Whether those automation hooks are going to be based on WebDriver is an open question, but we can hope! The next few years are going to be very interesting. As we're an open source project, you'd be welcome to join us for the journey at http://selenium.googlecode.com/. Footnotes http://fit.c2.com This is very similar to FIT, and James Shore, one of that project's coordinators, helps explain some of the drawbacks at http://jamesshore.com/Blog/The-Problems-With-Acceptance-Testing.html. For example, the remote server returns a base64-encoded screen grab with every exception as a debugging aid but the Firefox driver doesn't.

Wiki Whiteboards aren't practical for every documentation need. A project wiki, which is a Web site everyone can easily update on the fly, is a good resource for keeping everybody in sync. (Wiki-wiki is an alliterative substitute for quick, and we use wiki as a shorthand for the official name, WikiWikiWeb. See www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiHistory for a history of wiki.) If your team doesn't have one and you can see beneficial applications of using one, suggest it. Here are some of the pages that might be on the project wiki: Customer contact information Iteration planning output: task tracking Status Standup notes Grade cards Customers' schedules, when and where they'll be offsite and onsite Technical resources; how-tos, intranet access account info Install information and access to installation files Metrics Acceptance tests UML diagrams Metrics XP is designed to be lightweight and streamlined, producing fewer expensive artifacts.

A community of readers for the wikipedia periodically examine recently altered articles to weed out inappropriate content, but such deletions are rare in comparison to the vast amount of useful information. The wiki web we develop in this chapter is much simpler, and closer in spirit to the original wiki web (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki). The basic idea of the wiki is that information is organized using topic words, termed pattern words. A pattern word is written as a single word with embedded capital letters, for example PatternWord. (This convention grew up in the context of the study of ideas termed design patterns, hence the name.

CHAPTER 5: PERSONAL MOTIVATION MEETS COLLABORATIVE PRODUCTION Page 111: wikis Wikis are one of the great surprises of the last ten years’ worth of work on social tools. While many such tools were simply updates of work done in the 1960s through 1980s, wikis offered a genuinely new pattern of interaction. There are now millions of wikis in operation, both out in public and inside organizations. Ward Cunningham’s original wiki is still in operation at c2.com/cgi/wiki. The Wikimedia Foundation, nonprofit parent of Wikipedia, has a number of other wiki-based projects in operation, all listed at wikimedia.org. One of the best descriptions of the history and development of Wikipedia itself is at Marshall Poe’s excellent “The Hive,” Atlantic Monthly, September 2006, and at www.theatlantic.com/doc/200609/wikipedia. .

Raymond has convinced me that threads are usually not as good a solution as separate processes;2 indeed, years of experience have shown me that programming with multiple threads creates much additional complexity and introduces whole new categories of dangerously frightful heisenbugs.3 #3 seemed like a good solution, especially since our underlying database is multi-user and doesn't mind lots of processes banging on it at the same time. So that's what I'm planning to do when I get back from Thanksgiving vacation. __________ 2. See www.faqs.org/docs/artu/ch07s03.html#id2923889. 3. For more information on heisenbugs, see c2.com/cgi/like?HeisenBug. Notice, though, the big picture. We've gone from read the file/save it in the database to something significantly more complicated: launch a child process, tell it to read the file and save it in the database, add a progress bar and cancel button to the child process, and then some kind of mechanism so the child can notify the parent when the file has arrived so it can be displayed.

The tests will run, but they won’t pass. Later developers can add in the features, and the tests will pass. Both users and developers can have a common and up-to-date view of the capabilities of the system. There is far more to FIT than I can describe here. There is more information about FIT at http://fit.c2.com. Fitnesse Fitnesse is essentially FIT hosted in a wiki. Most of it was developed by Robert Martin and Micah Martin. I worked on a little bit of it, but I dropped out to concentrate on this book. I’m looking forward to getting back to work on it soon. Fitnesse supports hierarchical web pages that define FIT tests.

Recently, there’s been a new emphasis on the “writable Web,” with projects like Dave Winer’s EditThisPage.Com (http://www.editthispage.com), Dan Bricklin’s Trellix (http://www.trellix.com), and Pyra’s Blogger (http://www.blogger.com) making it easy for anyone to host their own site and discussion area. Wiki (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiWikiWeb) is an even more extreme innovation, creating web sites that are writable by anyone in an area set aside for public comment on a given topic. Wiki has actually been around for about six or seven years, but has suddenly started to catch on. The writable Web is only one way that the Web is recapturing its peer-to-peer roots.

Duane Rettig wrote: "... companies rode the great AI wave in the early 80's, when large corporations poured billions of dollars into the AI hype that promised thinking machines in 10 years. When the promises turned out to be harder than originally thought, the AI wave crashed, and Lisp crashed with it because of its association with AI. We refer to it as the AI Winter." Duane Rettig quoted in "AI Winter," http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AiWinter. 163. The General Problem Solver (GPS) computer program, written in 1957, was able to solve problems through rules that allowed the GPS to divide a problem's goals into subgoals, and then check if obtaining a particular subgoal would bring the GPS closer to solving the overall goal.

A typical fizzbuzz solution in Haskell looks something like: fizzBuzz :: Integer -> String fizzBuzz n | n `mod` 15 == 0 = | n `mod` 5 == 0 = | n `mod` 3 == 0 = | otherwise = "FizzBuzz" "Fizz" "Buzz" show n main :: IO () main = mapM_ (putStrLn . fizzBuzz) [1..100] You will craft a fizzbuzz that makes gouts of blood come out of your interviewer’s eye sockets using State. This is a suitable punishment for asking a software candidate to write this in person after presumably getting through a couple phone screens. 4 http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?FizzBuzzTest CHAPTER 23. STATE 835 import Control.Monad import Control.Monad.Trans.State fizzBuzz :: Integer -> String fizzBuzz n | n `mod` 15 == 0 = | n `mod` 5 == 0 = | n `mod` 3 == 0 = | otherwise = "FizzBuzz" "Fizz" "Buzz" show n fizzbuzzList :: [Integer] -> [String] fizzbuzzList list = execState (mapM_ addResult list) [] addResult :: Integer -> State [String] () addResult n = do xs <- get let result = fizzBuzz n put (result : xs) main :: IO () main = mapM_ putStrLn $ reverse $ fizzbuzzList [1..100] The good part here is that we’re collecting data initially before dumping the results to standard output via putStrLn.
