On Dec. 1st I received my copy of ‘Creating Visual Experiences with Flex 3.0‘, by Juan Sanchez and Andy McIntosh (2009 Pearson Education Inc).  I am a bit of a book fanatic, and find that books are my best resource, but lately there has been a glut of Flex and Air books to hit the market so I was a little skeptical about an AFFB (another freaking flex book).  Then I read this book, actually the entire book in 3 1/2 days.  All I have to say is… “freaking brilliant.”  This is not AFFB.

I have uploaded a zip file of the Ribbit Air example application I created for people to download and try out.  I did a brief tutorial on the Flex Cookbook regarding SMS Texting and the Ribbit API.  This application includes SMS texting as well as a working phone UI that will make calls via the api.  This is just example code that I wanted to put out for folks to mess around with.

Be sure to visit Ribbit to read their tutorials and register for a developer id so you can work with the examples.

Let me know what you think as well.

Okay folks, I have posted a basic (first pass) written tutorial, to go along with my presentation, on working with the Flex Ajax Bridge.  You can visit the post on the Flex Cookbook.  There you will find a basic step by step implementation as well as a zip file containing all the source code you need to run the example.  Take it and do as you wish, and if you have any questions just let me know.

One last thing… you will need to upload the files to an HTTP server for the Flex Ajax Bridge to work properly.  It doesn’t work just running it off of the file system.
