Ward’s Wiki is still a great resource

Posted by Jeremy Miller on July 19, 2008

I have no idea if it’s still being updated, but I’m floored by how useful and relevant Ward’s Wiki is today 10+ years after its inception.  I’m doing research for an article today and the single most helpful source of information and thought is *still* the original Wiki.  If you’re a student of software design, and object oriented design in particular, do yourself a favor and spend some time perusing the conversations that happened there way back when (late 90’s ish).

    It’s where I first learned about many things.

    Yeah, I’ve been doing some research into OO practices and spent a whole lot of time there. But I’m with Colin in that it’s hard to navigate.

    Couldn’t agree more and its also great to see the heavyweights in software involved in their own discussions/disagreements.

    Kinda wish it was a bit more organized and active though.
