011 "China's No. Programmer " Qiu Bojun has retired for 10 years, and has faded out of the public eye. There is also the DOS era of Jianghu .
That was the highlight of the domestic software industry, and many technical masters emerged. Their stories have been passed down to this day and are well-known.
Wang Yongmin's Wubi input method , the first domestic computer technology exported overseas, triggering technology giants such as Microsoft , IBM, Apple , etc., sensation in the US software market and even surprised the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
Zhu Chongjun , the first Chinese word table editing software in China, under the dominance of the Windows system, it has not done any advertising, but has ranked among the top 5 in the federal software sales rankings, setting a miracle in the Chinese software industry.
Jiangmin 's Jiangmin antivirus . He switched to computer studies at the age of 38. He became an outstanding antivirus expert in China in less than three years. At the age of 45, he entered the Zhongguancun alone, and his products quickly occupied more than 80% of the antivirus market.
Among the many heart-wrenching stories, the ones that I admire the most are Shi Yuzhu and Qiu Bojun.
Shi Yuzhu, who had just graduated in 1984, was admitted to the civil service exam. By chance, he came into contact with computers and then became out of control. After he learned programming by himself, he completed the program that professional programmers took one year to develop in just 2 days.
At that time, the Chinese processing system was lacking in China. In order to make up for the domestic vacancy, Shi Yuzhu resigned from the "iron rice bowl" . Even though his family strongly opposed it, he insisted on developing a Chinese character processing system with all his heart. One person designed, one person programmed, one person researched, and forgot to eat and sleep, regardless of the severe cold and heat. Finally, he lived up to expectations. " Hanka " was developed.
In order to promote "Han Card", Shi Yuzhu even used all his family's savings to advertise. With his excellent products, Shi Yuzhu's development became stronger and stronger, and then established the Giant Network .
Another person, is Qiu Bojun, who is known as one of the four gentlemen of Zhongguancun. He was an outstanding programmer in China in the early days of . In order to make up for the gap in domestic text editing tools, he locked himself in a hotel room. He was single, working day and night for 500 days, typing down more than 100,000 lines of code, and was admitted to the hospital many times due to overwork.
Then WPS, the first Chinese editor in China, was successfully released. In just a few years, the WPS market share has reached 90%, which is invincible. Kingsoft Software also ushered in a highlight moment.
Unfortunately, perhaps the operational negligence later led to WPS once lagging behind Microsoft Word.
Since I sought out Bojun, people from Kingsoft Software can always make people feel a "indomitable" spirit. Now Kingsoft software wins a game on its old rival Microsoft.
In 2018, Siemens acquired low-code platform Mendix for more than US$700 million, shocking the entire software market. Then Google and Apple entered the low/ code-free development market, Microsoft even gradually opened up the market with the Power Platform low-code platform and is now commercially available in China.
is from Zhang Jun of Kingsoft Software. Although he is not as famous as the first generation of programmers, he knew that complex programming code was blocking ordinary people from building software 10 years ago, so he was determined to develop tools that would make novices who do not understand programming technology at all and can also develop software.
For the goal of "a dream", Zhang Jun moved into an iron house and began to devote himself to research and development. Spring, summer, autumn and winter. Three years passed in a flash. During this period, a typhoon was slammed over the iron sheet, and mice ran around and bit off the network cable. Hard work paid off. eversheet, this codeless development tool was released.
eversheet is a magical tool for corporate managers and office staff. You can build software by drawing tables, dragging and dragging, and understanding business processes, such as ERP, WMS, purchase, sales and storage , financial management system, etc., and there is no need to write a line of code at all.
Microsoft Power Platform is excellent, but as a domestic software, eversheet has a Chinese operating interface and operation method as simple as WPS, and is more in line with the operating habits of Chinese people. Of course, eversheet is not a toy. The free version launched by the company benefits more than 200,000 companies, including many well-known companies, such as Hengyi Group, Huawei, Xuji Electric, etc., which are all used in depth.
summary
Whether it is Qiu Bojun, Wang Yongmin, Zhu Chongjun, Jiang Min, Shi Yuzhu in the DOS era, or later Zhang Jun, the sweat they shed for the development of domestic software will encourage and spur more people.
