Slashdot Mirror
Interview With UIzard Creator Ryu Sunt-tae
volume4 writes "A couple of days ago, the folks over at Ajaxian introduced the world to UIzard, an awesome creation by a Korean developer using YUI. There is actually a heck of a lot more about it, and the excitement about the app caused the UIzard website to go down. Most people could not interact with the app or learn more. A day or so later, the website was back but I could still not access the app. I went on a search to find the creator of UIzard to learn more about it, and finally, through Jinho.Jung on Flickr, I got ahold of his email address and hooked up with Ryu Sunt-tae to learn more."
I am 99.999999999999999999999999999999999% sure that his name is supposed to be typed as Ryu Sung-tae (Sung, not Sunt; there is not in my studies of Korean some such name, given, or family...). Besides, g and t on the US / Latin keyboard are adjacent, and all the more this seems to be a typo. If it was a phone interview, with the interviewer making corrections, it's then even possible that his name is Seung, not Sung, as in the director http://www.koreanfilm.org/films2008.html Ryu Seung-jin.
Unfortunately, it appears the opensource site seems to have it wrong. But, *i* could be wrong, so maybe you can e-mail him and ask him if his name is actually misspelled on the site.
For those not aware, the "WI" as in wizard or whiskey in the US/English speakign areas is written in Korean charactes that look in English like "oi", but pronounced making for it to look like "uh-wee-zard". So, it's neat/nifty a spin to have UI and Wi merged for UIzard, instead of just using Wizard....
Just my two cents...

Site getting slashdotted in 3..2..1...
They call everything a phd these days...
How about:
"Activity participated in by some."
Much more descriptive.
I mean, would it fucking kill you to make YUI a hyper-link in the summary?

Yet another web dev WYSIWYG done in javascript. Creeps, crashs and crawls whereas a desktop app like Eclipse is far more reliable and stable. Why are people still trying to do this in javascript?
This is my sig. There are many like it but this one is mine.
And so it was said...
UIzard(User Interface Wizard) is a tool that helps users create UIâ(TM)s easily. Basically, the user can create UI pages based on YUI, and develop an application by writing the functionality according to specific events(click or drag) for each UI object. (like in Visual Studio or XCode...) The result is generated on the basis of HTML and JS. Uizardâ(TM)s goal is to be a general web-based development tool like Google Docs or Spreadsheet, the web-based office tool. However, it's just a beta-version at the experimentation stage, so I hope to keep your interest and look forward to its future.
Apart from "awesome"?
Has Ryu managed restore his hadouken yet?

If you feel like reading another 'Those kids sure are doing crazy things with technology' article hear it is.
Having said that, it's still pretty cool. Now if you could get that to integrate with Eclipse, Spring, and Struts...
that's better luck than I have with craigslist.

He's probably Japanese, not Korean. And Sunt-tae is the best he can do to try and help people pronounce a small tsu in his last name. Oh, and Japanese does the same thing as Korean for some w-sounds. They don't have the sounds made by the letter v, are missing the th sound, and several others. There's a lot more different than just the L vs R confusion that's so infamous.
Anyhow, that's my guess about the spelling, given that it's easy to see what the kana would be for this name. Slashdot will eat them if I type them, but to give the required pronunciation, the name would be written as: [ri][small-yu] [su][n][small-tsu][ta][e].
It is, however, just a guess. I, too, puzzled over the hyphen in his name when I first saw it.

"Awesome" should be expelled from the vocabulary of anyone over the age of consent.
I like summaries to summarize things. That way I know if i may actually be interested in the article's subject. This fails. This is written like a bad Saturday Night Live skit in which the punchline is that the subject is never mentioned.

So why didn't he just host it on SourceForge? :
Dude, that's awesome.
The site's been UIzarded.
Kudos to the guy for a well done implementation, but he's applied the wrong tools to the problem. Running an IDE inside a web browser is very inefficient, and completely ignores the better (and widely used) choice of using an OS native UI library.
then I accidentally the whole thing!!!

Good job, but this system has a few years left to catch up with Extjs
Then he should have done the honorable thing and performed ritual self-disembowelment.
Well, I am thoroughly impressed with the humility this guy shows in his replies. 99% of the slashdot posters could learn something from that.
Instead of throwing around unfounded accusations, calling people 'stupid', blowing their own horns even if they are very young and have accomplished nothing worth mentioning in life.
Go read the last paragraph of the interview.
