			Thanks to '''James Henstridge''' and for his wonderful work on libglade which makes it easier to store the UI widget information and it's actions in xml file called GLADE. Using libglade will not only save the time of development but also makes the Marbles-output as platform independent. We can share the glade file for UI over network and recreate or edit the current glade file to make it more complex. It gives an option for children to play with it.

			I have also made a design without libglade library using database storage but after getting suggestions from sugar members, I removed that in my technical approach. Whole design is thus made very simple. Mentors can read that approach in my original GSOC proposal submitted to google.


	===== With LibGlade library =====		===== With LibGlade library =====

			Libglade is a library designed to dynamically load a user interface from an XML file on disk. These UI description files can be created using the Glade UI builder. It provides several options for connecting callbacks up to the interface including an `autoconnect' option that scans the program's symbol table for callback functions.

 Special care will be given on debugging facility. since pygtk is used in UI application, sugar-bot integration would not be difficult to achieve. I will also try to include modules for sugar-bot debugging facility to facilitated direct unit-testing.

	I have worked on variety of projects ranging from web application, mobile j2me midlets, Web server management( python project ) and desktop application. One of the interesting projects I worked on is "cross platform windows explorer" which I built in python using wxwidget, in which we handled the issues like portability, searching and UI designs. If I am not exagerating, that would not be wrong to say that I am a fast learner.
