More people got interested and asked for more features that I felt were worth the investment. As it is open-source, it interested some people in the Linux world, where there was no application of that kind. It took me about a year to write the book and it got reasonable success, but the application beside it drew a lot more attention, so I continued to develop and add more features to it. screens, drawings, and anything they want to show the user. The book was about Swing, which is a part of the Java technology that lets people manage the user interface of a program, i.e. I thought it was a nice idea because it was visual and there were different kinds of Java components to show on the screen that could be interesting to explain. This small software helped people to design their homes.
It started as a case study in the book that I wrote in 2005, which I used to explain the technology. If I speak about the books, it’s because the main story at the moment is Sweet Home 3D, which is the last open-source software I developed. I had the chance to choose that language, which was quite trendy at the time, so I could find more work and training to do and I ended up writing two books about Java. My specialization was in Java language, particularly. I started eTeks 21 years ago and since then, I’ve been developing three open-source software. After a few years, I decided to start a company of my own, because I had a few ideas for small software I wanted to develop. I started working as a developer during the ’90s. My education was in aeronautics and computer science, many years back.
Please describe the background to starting Sweet Home 3D. In this interview, he describes the evolutionary steps that came next, and the crucial lesson for all Java developers. As the developer of SweetHome3D, Emmanuel Puybaret never imagined his open-source Java project would become as popular as it did, but times have evolved and Java in browsers became redundant, leaving him with a huge community of users and no technology to rely on.
