UI and the Rest

A couple of days have passed since NCDevCon (May 22nd – 23rd) and everything is starting to sink in.  Before I get into a recap of my experience, I just want to give a little background on the event.  NCDevCon is a free conference in Raleigh, NC.  The focus of the conference was Flex/Flash, Air, Javascript, Design, Coldfusion, and overall web development.  The promoters, Dan Wilson and Jim Priest with backup by the TACFUG, do an outstanding job in putting together a quality conference.  And they do it so that attendees do not have to pay a dime to attend the conference. Phenomenal, effort. (more…)

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.
