2.0 to 2.5 Conversion Guide

Friday, November 21, 2008 at 5:40pm by Wesley Leonardo | located in Code, General | No Comments | Trackback

Just wanted to let everyone know that we have put up a 2.0 to 2.5 Conversion Guide for all of you that are upgrading your applications to the new 2.5 platform. This guide has a lot of helpful information like the method to make an outbound call in 2.0 was makeCall(), and now in 2.5, it is dial(). Also, part of the new 2.5 API was a refactoring of code which means we broke up different functionalities into different Manager and Event classes. For example, all the call methods and events now go through the CallManager class.

Come and check out the conversion guide to see what has changed from 2.0. If you have built an app using 2.0, then you will find this guide extremely useful. Log into your account and click the link below to view the document.

I was on, live at 3:00 PM PST with Sarah Austin from pop17 (http://www.mogulus.com/pop17) talking about Ribbit, Flash and Flex.

I join the broadcast about 18:00 into it. It was lots of fun, and she was super nice to talk with on camera.

Huge thanks to Jason and Jamal from Mekanism, as well as Mitch from SlideRocket, for coming on stage to demo their Ribbit-enabled applications. Also thanks to Ribbit team members for being on hand to help field attendee questions, and for their support throughout MAX.

Just a few final words as we close out MAX 2008. The conference was amazing. Adobe did a great job throwing this 3-day celebration of Rich Internet Application development. Ribbit had our biggest presence yet and I think developers, internally and throughout our community thought it was successful.

We did a bunch of interviews during the conference, and we’ll be posting those throughout the week!

Also, a reminder about my session “Making/Receiving Phone Calls in Flash, Flex and AIR” which will be at 3:30 on Monday. I’ll be giving away some goodies there and showing off some amazing work by developers.

PureMVC Pirate Conference at MAX

Tuesday, November 11, 2008 at 12:32pm by Charles Freedman | located in Events, General, Flex | No Comments | Trackback

Ribbit is proud to announce that we are yielding our special ‘get a room’ space at the San Francisco Marriott to none other than Cliff Hall. Join Cliff for a very special presentation on PureMVC on Tuesday, November 18 (Day 2 of MAX) from 3-5.

Meet the man, the myth and the framework. Best of all, you don’t need a badge to get in. This is Ribbit’s domain, and we’re giving it to Cliff for 2 solid hours.

If you can’t stop by, no worries… Cliff has created a channel for you to watch/listen to his speech. Get more info here: http://puremvc.org/content/view/99/181/

Cliff has a nice write up of how this event came to be. It goes into quite a bit of detail on how Brendan Lee, after professing Ribbit’s adoption and allegiance, was able to carve out some space of Cliff. We’re happy to present this to our community! See you at MAX.
