Using Rails with Flex: Flex e-Genial Scaffold

scoundrel — Sat, 13 Jan 2007 14:05:19 GMT

Simple example of using Ruby on Rails and Flex in Flex e-Genial Scaffold. Screencast is really interesting, but it is in Brazilian Portuguese. Anyways, it worth it to take a look at it if you're interested in Flex technology.

From site: The Flex e-genial Scaffold proposes to help and automatize the repetitive tasks to create Rich Internet Applications (RIA) and web 2.0 L&F (look and feel), using Ruby on Rails and Flex 2.0. With Flex e-genial Scaffold you will go to develop applications that take the users for new experiences and usabilities.

Creating a Flex application using the TurboGears framework

scoundrel — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 12:24:06 GMT

In this screen capture video tutorial, Bruce Eckel and James Ward pair up to create an Adobe Flex application using the TurboGears framework. Follow along as these experts show you how to put it all together. About the authors Bruce Eckel is the author of numerous books and articles about computer programming. He gives frequent lectures and seminars for computer programmers, and was a founding member of the ANSI/ISO C++ standard committee. His best known works are Thinking in Java and Thinking in C++, aimed at programmers with little object-oriented programming experience. Most reviewers consider these books to be better written and more pedagogic than most introductory texts on Java or C++. He has since made both books available for all to download freely. However, his recent book, Thinking in Java, Fourth Edition, is no longer available in a free, electronic form. James Ward is a technical evangelist for Flex at Adobe. He enjoys programming as much as he loves climbing mountains because it provides endless new discoveries, elegant workarounds, summits, and valleys. His climbing adventures taken him many places. Likewise, technology has brought him many adventures, including Pascal and Assembly back in the early 1990s; Perl, HTML, and JavaScript in the mid 1990s; and Java and its many frameworks beginning in the late 1990s. Today he primarily uses Flex to build beautiful front ends for Java-based back ends. Prior to joining Adobe, James built a rich marketing and customer service portal for Pillar Data Systems.

Leveraging HTML/JavaScript and Ajax in Apollo Applications

scoundrel — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 12:12:07 GMT

Chris Brichford gave a talk at Adobe MAX on Leveraging HTML and JavaScript within Apollo. Here are some notes from the talk: Overview of Apollo Apollo is a cross-platform runtime that allows you to take your web skills to build desktop applications. Your applications can be all Flash, all HTML, or a mixture of both. The first demo showed an HTML Control Tester mixing an HTML window with Flash content behind. On the fly the application had controls to blur, rotate, change transparency, and it all still worked (e.g. links and such). Check out the video here to see using Google upside down :) Motivation for supporting HTML Realize that we need to be able to reuse the web application content for rich desktop applications, and want to leverage the knowledge of Ajax and CSS. The use cases are:

Embedding a full browser: integrate live partner content, or building a dashboard
HTML UI: Text field on steroids, create UI widgets using HTML markup

HTML Support HTML engine renders to Flash display list object, and can be treated as any other display list (e.g. filters, fransforms, opacitiy). Considering using Flash fonts to render HTML text. HTML form widgets will be visually consistent with your application so the user can’t tell what is Flash and what is HTML. On the scripting side JavaScript and ActionScript object models are bidirectional and seamless. HTML can be loaded from the network, URLRequest, ActionScript string, or an adobe-app:/ package. HTML Engine Choice Using WebCore and JavaScriptCore from the WebKit open source project. They chose it because:

WebKit is mobile friendly.
WebKit is a small source code base for a modern HTML engine

Planning to keep Apollo in sync with Safari’s HTML and JavaScript support. So, if you support Safari, your Ajax app would work as-is inside Apollo. Apollo will support Adobe Reader and Flash plugins. API overview Still in the works. New ActionScript class called HTMLControl which is a subclass of Sprite and the default behaviour is modeled on an iframe. You can subclass the HTMLControl yourself and change behaviour (e.g. what happens when a link is clicked, when window.open is called, when a form is submitted, etc). A nice demo was Maptacular that was a mashup of Google Maps with application behaviour. Key Takeaways Unified HTML and Flash rendering pipelines. Bridging JavaScript and ActionScript object model.

Small screencast where author (James Ward) builds a simple Flex app with Flex Builder.

I hope this is helpful to those of you new to Flex. After you watch the screencast, download Flex Builder and give it a try. If you find yourself saying things like “Wow! Coding is fun again!” or “I had no idea RIA programming was so easy!”, Welcome to Flexland! A few years ago I found myself in Flexland and to me it’s like being in the mountains… Once you are there, you never want to be anywhere else.
