주위에 영어 잘하는 사람이 많아서 행복합니다
Welccome Ryu and thank you for joining me for
this quick chat. To get things started please give us some
background on yourself.
Hello, My name is Ryu and
I'm from Korea.
I had majored Electrical and Electronics Engineering in
Sung Kyung Kwan university and graduated last summer.
Right after
graduation, I entered the graduation school that summer and I've been
taken time off for one year.
Currently, I am on the
master course and a member of SKKU Automation Laboratory Mobile Team.
(Our team is currently working on the researches regarding Android and
mobile UI)
My major is about mobile devices but I am
also very interested in Web Development.
However, I do believe that
the boundaries of various IT areas will be removed due to
rapid evolving technologies and the Web will be the major platform
thus I keep my interest in both fields.
There is a lot of interest regarding UIzard around the web
and after yesterdays post on Ajaxian it seems the UIzard website
was crashed. What exactly is UIzard and what can developers accomplish
using this tool.
Yesterday, UIzard.org got so much interest
from people around the world all of sudden.
So my cheap
hosting stopped instantly.
I added traffic with my personal expenses but
still it is not so satisfying.
I am really grateful to
receive so many e-mails from people around the world suggesting the
support of hosting.
However, I have not expected such, so I
am kind of confused.
I don't know which one to
choose among those suggestions or how to reply.
UIzard(User Interface
Wizard) is the tool that helps the users to make UI
easily. Basically, the user can make UI page based on YUI,
and develop an application by writing the function according to specific
event(click or drag) for each UI object. (like the Visual Studio
or XCode...)
The result is generated on the basis of
HTML and JS.
Uizard has a goal to be general web-based
development tool like google docs or spreadsheet, the web-based office tool.
However, it's just a beta-version at the experimenting level, so I
hope to keep your interest and look forward its future.
UIzard was developed using YUI, any particular reason
you chose this over say, Dojo?
There is no
specific reason for using YUI in UIzard. The reason I used
YUI was that the hosts of 2009 MASHUPKOREA that I have
taken part were NHN, DAUM, YAHOO Korea and Microsoft Korea
and
I had to use one of APIs provided by those companies
and only YAHOO provided API related to UI. Also, the license
was BSD.
But, I am planning to support UI components, provided
by the library such as jQuery or Dojo. Furthermore, I would
like to upgrade so that the users can consturct Toolbox in
a way they want to.
The
other exciting news is that UIzard is open source, is this
the case? If so, where can developers get access to the
code and under which license is it released?
Yes,
UIzard is an open-source. Developers can download the source code from
uizard.org.
However, it is closed for a moment and I'm planning
to open after version-up.
As I did not take the major
in the computer engineering, any special course regarding web-development and did
developed all by myself, the source is not quite neat.
Because
of mass in source code, I guess it will take some
time to be settled as the open-source.
About the license,
UIzard follows GPL v2.
Though UIzard is composed with several open
souruce libraries, I thought GPL v2 is approriate to spread among
more users and become better tool because
if I used license
such as BSD, there could be too much versions.
This is a reason why I made UIzard as an open-source. Though it is 0.8 beta-version, I hope this tool to be a good, free developing tool regardless of developing language, platform when the tool is upgraded to version 5.0 or 6.0 in the future.
I
am willing to open the application UI library under BSD license
after a few years.
This would be the library, which may
provide the form of current UIzard appearance(that would be just like
the common computer application)
In my opinion,
first of all,
there was a share in a way of OPEN SOURCE for
the development communities.
After that, there was a share in a
way of OPEN API for the individual developers
and now, I
think, there will be a share in a way of OPEN
SERVICE for the user.
May be, this OPEN SERVICE is actualizing
in a way of Gadget/Widget.
Thus, with my support of the
basic structure of UIzard in a form of library and the
user will be able to construct the user-application using opened OPEN
SERVICE.
(Please, do not mind my short English.. this sounds like
iGoogle;; Difficult to express my ideas in English...)
With UIzard being open source there is sure to be
a lot of community involvement in the future direction of the
app but for the moment, ow do you see UIzard evolving?
Though the developers in Korea have
showed a lot of interest in UIzard after 2009 MASHUPKOREA, the
open-source is not settled in Korea so there is not much
support.
Thus, I am really grateful to contact with open-source communities
in overseas.
On the other hand, I am kind of worried
of UIzard being noticed all of sudden.
As it's still at
the experimental level, I hope the developers to be not disappointed
after activating this incompleted version.
At this moment, UIzard is
"ajax development tool".
But, I do believe that this can be
a general developing tool if the technology prospers more and more
and the concept of cloud computing becomes more realistic.
With help
from excellent developers around the world, UIzard can be the development
tool covering all C/C++/C#/JAVA/JSP/PHP.
If the hard-disk is removed from the
computer, the smart-phone becomes useful as much as the computer and
the network is involved in our lives more than ever,
the
web envrionment will have a huge impact not only on the
normal users, but also on the developers and UIzard will be
a good tool for the developers to practice and make their
ideas real in anywhere the internet is avaliable.
I
have much more ideas to make web-environment more rich than the
results I have actually implemented apart from UIzard.
However It is
so hard to do those things all by my self because
I've never carried out or even joined Open Source Project.
I
know nothing about it and I don't know how to make
it work.
I keep my eyes and ears open all
the time.
I am only 24 years and still have so
much things to learn.
I still need to improve my ability.
I've more ideas than I can acutally work out.
Thus, I
need passion of developers younger or as young as me
and
also need expert developers who can share their knowledge, know-how and
technique.
I am grateful to everyone around the world who showed
the interest to my work.
This is unforgettable and fruitful time
of my life.
Thanks again for your interview request and suggestion
of free hosting support.
(I will get in touch about the
usage of hosting after consultation with others as soon as I
organize the community with the developers of Korea and around the
world who are willing to participate in UIzard project)
I will
do my best to make it up to your interest.
