# UI - User interface

In the beginning of 2024, [RZ4AG, Alexander Anipkin](https://www.qrz.com/db/RZ4AG) asked on [DXSoftSupport Telegram channel](https://t.me/DXsoftSupport) anybody willing to participate in the development of new version of [AALog, radio amateur journal](https://www.dxsoft.com/en/products/aalog/).

I nodded within my head, "Why not?". At that point, I did no know it will be [Lazarus IDE](https://www.lazarus-ide.org/) and Pascal code. it turned out interesting project.

[Free Pascal Compiler](https://www.freepascal.org/) makes code run on Windows, Macintosh (MacOS) and Linux (with addition of several decades of othe platforms).

My tasks included to redraw graphical elements (dialogs, forms).

To facilitate collaboration, I deployed source code repository based on [self-hosted Gogs version control environment](https://gogs.2dz.fi/DXsoft/AALog/).

Later on, I began to see, that several projects, that I use daily.. are written using Pascal, and they works!
