How do you imagine Moscow?
- I have never been to Russia. I’ve heard it’s a beautiful city.
- I have never been to Russia, so I don’t even know what to expect from Moscow. I heard this is a beautiful city and I hope I will have time to see some local beauties.
What would you like to see here?
- I do not know much about Moscow.
“Unfortunately, I don't know much about Moscow, so I don’t know what to see, but I would like to see some historical places.”
What do you expect from a meeting with Russian developers Ruby?
- I have not been a good introduction. I would like to understand this region.
- I have not spoken to the rubists from Russia before, so this will be a good reason for dating. I would like to know more about the local Ruby scene and, perhaps, to share what is happening in Singapore and what I know about our region.
What project / open source are you working on?
- Focusing on cloud computing and urbanization. For an open book where I go. I'm also looking at writing for iOS applications.
- I head the HP corporate laboratory in Singapore, specializing in cloud technology and urbanization. As for leisure and open source, I just released the book O'Reilly and now I advertise it wherever I appear. I also take a closer look at RubyMotion - Ruby modifications for creating iOS applications.
What do you consider your main achievement in life or career?
It is my latest book - “Exploring Everyday Things with R and Ruby.”
“I try to make my every new project, whatever it is, be my new major achievement, so at the moment this is my last book“ Exploring Everyday Things with R and Ruby ”.
What do you like to do in your free time from Ruby?
- Everything I need to write on mobile apps (RubyMotion).
- Now I am writing almost everything in Ruby, from basic scripts to web applications and mobile applications (RubyMotion).
When and why did you start programming?
- I started programming during the university days. It wasn’t any kind of activity. Programming now.
- I started programming quite late, only while studying at the university. At first, this business did not inspire me too much, but gradually I was captured. Programming seems to create something where there was nothing before, and this is what attracts me and makes me continue.
What would you like to become if you didn't become a programmer?
- Probably, say, writing books.
- Probably, I would write books.
Russia has strong literary traditions. Have you read any of the Russian writers?
For example, it’s possible to read the textbooks, it’s probably limited to programming books, science fiction and fantasy.
“I think I would like to sometime read Tolstoy’s War and Peace, but right now my reading circle is limited to books on programming, science fiction and fantasy.”
