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.
