Read 2 books & Read 1 more

About 1 week ago, I bought 3 books

All books are Korean Version :-)

1. 3040,희망에 베팅하라 by 공병호
2. Blogging Heroes: Interviews with 30 of the World's Top Bloggers
3. Why Software Sucks by David S Platt

First and second books are already done.
Now I'm reading third book, "why software sucks", that book is very interesting. About 9 years (1999 - 2008, now) I have developed software (PC based, DSP, ARM, etc ...). But until now I did not think about that when we develop the S/W we don't think about the S/W user. In this book, let me know the S/W user what he or her wants.

We always think about the other side world.
Do you understand?

New 2 books

Yesterday, in the book store I bought 2 book.

1. Presentation Zen by Garr Reynolds, http://www.presentationzen.com/
2. Design of design by Kenya Hara
from the Internet, that book title is Designing Design
But all books are Korean Version.
I'm not good at English.

In the future, I will bye new book English version :-)

After reading, I will write the review.

You only see what you know

Nowadays I read many blog.
In the blog I found one sentence that is "You only see what you know".
That is very impressive to me& I agreed that.
Before we understand something or someone, we should study of that.
That is very important thing to do something.

In this reason,
We have studied all of our life.

What is your dream?

Do you have a dream?
I had a dream.
But ... now, I have no idea about that.

When I was young, I want to be a scientist.
No subject, just want to be a scientist.
Until high school, I had wanted to study mathematics or physics.
In the university, I changed my major and now I'm a programmer.
Just a coder, not program designer.
I want to be a program designer or special list.
Or want to be a designer or creator :-).

More old, less dream
(I don't know, this expression is right or not)

I don't want to lost my dream.
If I lost my dream, I'm not a man.

Do you have a dream?

Sexual Discrimination

Nowadays, most people does not use "policeman" but "police-officer".
Space man / Space woman,
Cheer girl -> Cheer leader,
and Chairman -> Chairperson
There are many word to compare man and woman.

We cannot get anything easly.

Nowadays, I have study SAP.
It is the new area of my job position.
I change the UI theme & change the text input method.
Editing & porting.
Sometimes I think I am a good S/W engineer.
But ... I'm NOT.
To get knowledge of anything, we will pay for that.
Am I right?
Are you agree?
I think, life is also same.
Life is not easy to live, isn't it?

Make a document about something

In Korea, most engineer did NOT learn how to make a document or manual of his/her work(s).
Today, I finished one job so I decieded to make a document of my about one week job.

The job was to make a BREW static library & put the BREW static library into the mobilephone.
One week ago, I have no idea about that. In that time I started to study about that and made it. Yesterday I finished my work and today I decided to make a document about that. It is NOT easy to me. Making program is easier than making document (or manual). According to the book or famouse person's comment, making document is more important than making source code.

Try and try to make a document.
