Chapter 222 I want more


    As February just entered, the atmosphere of the New Year seemed to suddenly become stronger.


    Bai Xiaosheng not only has lights and decorations in the company, but also the website interface has become very happy and seems very suitable.


    As a user who is used to being accustomed to current affairs on this forum, Ge Zhijie is very satisfied with Bai Xiaosheng''s timely adjustments and is also very moved by its vitality.


    Or it, how can they build a workplace platform? Or how can they exceed two million users?


    Ge Zhijie has a good impression of Bai Xiaosheng''s website and even the management behind it. This is a rare feeling he has since surfing the Internet, so he has to praise the "doctor" for being very good at it.


    So, when he received a private message from the "Doctor" that day, he responded very well.


    Yu Xing: Hello, Teacher Ge, I’m recommended. Are you very insightful in the development of Symbian programs?


    Ge Zhijie is a Baidu programmer. He often shares technical opinions on forums in his spare time. After receiving a private message from the founder Bai Xiaosheng, he felt like a "strange old acquaintance" and replied directly: How about you, you have a private life?


    Not humble at all, nor at all.


    After chatting like this, Ge Zhijie exchanged contact information with the "Doctor" and made two consecutive calls to communicate about the development of Symbian software.


    As a technician, Ge Zhijie could clearly feel that the "Doctor" did not know much about this technology. When he talked endlessly, the other party just kept listening politely and tried hard.


    However, as a veteran programmer, Ge Zhijie also has a way to correctly handle product needs.


    He heard the "Doctor" expressing **** the third phone call and couldn''t help but interrupt, "Doctor Yu, stop talking about these needs, just tell me which software you want to copy."


    The phone was quiet for a while.


    Ge Zhijie felt that this statement might be a bit abrupt, so he laughed dryly and asked for a supplement, "That''s right, um, Dr. Yu, you just said which software you want to benchmark against, so that it will be convenient for me to understand."


    According to the product manager''s description, it is a benchmarking, not a copying.


    "Teacher Ge..." Yu Xing pondered on the phone, "Fein, a simple Feixin, can cross the communications provider''s Feixin."


    Fexin can only be used among Huaxia Mobile users at present, so spanning is a key feature.


    Ge Zhijie immediately understood, and recovered from the emotion of contacting "unfamiliar old acquaintances" and thoughts became very serious: "Well, Mr. Yu, a communication tool that can connect to mobile, China Unicom and telecommunications, right? It seems that it can indeed compete with Fexin."


    "Yes." Yu Xing confirmed, adding, "Or, benchmark QQ, simple QQ, remove its fancy QQ."


    Ge Zhijie was stunned when he heard the name of QQ. Instinctively, he jumped out of the attributes after combining the two benchmark products in his mind. A mobile IM tool?


    He couldn''t help asking: "Mr. Yu, it may be difficult to grow, right? It looks like it will overlap with the Penguin market. There are no very successful products on the market, and the benchmarks in the past are dead."


    Yu Xing asked: "What can I do from a technical level? Teacher Ge, what I need to know now is this. If you form a small team, how long will it take to develop this kind of product? How many people will it take?"


    Ge Zhijie did not answer immediately, silently pondering this demand.


    There was no urging on the other end of the phone either.


    After a long time, Ge Zhijie first answered a question: "The difficulty of development is actually not high. Two or three people can do it slowly. Of course, it cannot be a newbie. I estimate it is not just a problem. But this matter is not only a problem, it is actually quite complicated, because if you really put it into operation, you need to adapt different versions of Symbian. These are different in API support and system characteristics, and targeted code adjustments and functional optimization are required."


    "For example, some UI components display exceptions in specific versions or fail to call network APIs, etc."


    "Also, there are many screen resolutions of Symbian devices, ranging from smaller QVGAs, that is, 240×320, to very high resolutions. This requires appropriate layout strategies and image resource management to ensure the use of scalable vector graphics resources, etc."


    Ge Zhijie talked endlessly, and after taking a sip of water, he decided to mention one last time: "In addition, the memory resources of the Symbian system are relatively limited, and the code must release memory objects that are no longer used in time, such as dynamically allocated arrays, and after use, memory recovery must be strictly carried out."


    He was about to finish, and another key question flashed through his mind: "Since it is instant messaging, considering that it is running in the background for a long time, it is necessary to optimize the code logic to reduce power consumption, such as setting the polling time interval reasonably."


    "In short, from development to actual combat, the problems that are easy to encounter are in all aspects." Ge Zhijie answered the question seriously, and after a moment, he heard the inquiry from President Yu.


    "Just use Symbian''s native UI framework, just Akn (ApplicationUserInterfaceSkin), and QtforSymbian, so as to ensure system consistency, performance optimization and cross-platform development, isn''t it okay?" Yu Xing asked a little clumsyly.


    Ge Zhijie could almost imagine Mr. Yu was reading the material or the words on the screen. He held back his smile and replied, "Yes, but this is the general direction. This is the technical level of implementation. I''m afraid you won''t understand it, so you can understand it. Specifically, for example, what protocol should be used for network communication? The newly released WebSocket in the past two years actually performed well, but it is still in the draft stage, and it has experimental support mainly in emerging mobile operating systems iOS and Android."


    "Most Symbian phones use WebKit-based browser engines, which cannot achieve the latest HTML5 features that appear on other platforms."


    “Well, the WebSocket protocol has great potential…”


    Ge Zhijie murmured to himself, and after thinking for a while, he said, "For Saipan, you can use custom HTTP long polling. Although it is not that efficient, it is not a problem to use."


    He stopped talking, and after a while he saw that he was still silent on the phone, so he had to speak out: "Mr. Yu, are you thinking?"


    "Oh, oh, I''ve finished talking, right? I thought there was something next." Yu Xing said honestly after hearing this, "I didn''t understand much, but I felt that it was in stock."


    Ge Zhijie smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Yu wants to give me the private work to try?"


    Yu Xing asked directly: "Teacher Ge, I think you are quite reliable, but you still have to interview me. After all, I don''t understand technical issues. Are you willing to come out from Baidu?"


    Ge Zhijie said with a little funny moment: "It''s not a private job, but I want to poach people. However, Mr. Yu, your software has no prospects. I will run over for a few months, and there will be no further information in the interview. You cut me up again. I want a premium salary for a few months. What am I going to do?"


    He felt the stupidity of a familiar product manager.


    "Teacher Ge, you just said that development and actual combat will face many problems, and private life will not be guaranteed continuously." Yu Xing said directly, "If you have no problem with the subsequent interview, you can save a Saipan team for development. In 2010 this year, the total salary package I gave to this team is 2 million, and we can also talk about it reasonably. In addition to this, we will calculate the year-end bonus separately."


    Ge Zhijie''s breathing was slightly stagnant. If you want to say this... I have to say, Mr. Yu is very optimistic...


    Seeing that there was no sound on the phone, Yu Xing continued, "Of course, it''s up to Teacher Ge Sheng to be incompetent in this position. To be honest, I will face some competition."


    Ge Zhijie didn''t care much about competition. After a brief thought, he asked, "Mr. Yu, it''s easy to draw cakes. At that time, you will find faults and cause trouble. What should you do if you deduct them casually? Also, can you really make sense if you talk about it rationally?"


    "If you ask me this, how else can I answer? Who can say that I will deduct it?" Yu Xing smiled, "Teacher Ge, I think you are a senior user of Bai Xiaosheng. I can only say that since the website was established, do you think I am such a person?"


    Ge Zhijie''s mind quickly flashed Dr. Yu''s record, bombarded the Internet marriage and love, and forced the working emperor to dismiss the horse, arrested the quality of the real attacker, and was unable to bear to help him in the opposite direction, and killed him for 72 hours...


    He let out a long sigh, his reputation!


    Ge Zhijie was silent for a long time, and then said, "Mr. Yu, since you want to make such a benchmark product, are you only developing Symbian software? What about iOS and Android? These two emerging mobile operating systems are actually very potential."


    Yu Xing said in surprise: "Teacher Ge, what do you mean?"


    "I mainly do C++ in Baidu, but I don''t know it only. I also have a good understanding of Objective-C and Java." Ge Zhijie concisely added self-introduction and highlighted the key points, "I want more!"


    Symbian''s development language is mainly C++, iOS is Objective-C, which belongs to the superset of C language, and Android is Java.


    Ge Zhijie has always maintained a strong curiosity and research on emerging knowledge in the industry, and has a strong sense of confidence.


    Yu Xing felt this confidence and replied with a smile: "Yes."


    As long as you can, that''s fine.


    Don’t be afraid that you will want more. The more you can do it, the more likely the big company will pay for today’s salary.
