Building a desktop application with Ext, AIR, Aptana and Red Bull

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

Just found a really nice article on the newly created Ext blog. It explains how to use Aptana to build a JavaScript Air application - using the Ext JS library (which is particularly popular with Apollo goers). Of course, a bit of Red Bull helps.

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

I’ve got the Tumblelog bug and have been adding bits and bobs to one over the last few weeks.
I’m going to use it as a place to post miscellaneous links and videos, not necessarily related to Rails/Flex (or indeed computers).
Check it out.

How Juggernaut (server push with a flash socket) works behind the scenes.

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Dan Grigsby has written a very thorough and comprehensive piece that takes you through the components of Juggernaut, the concepts behind it and what’s actually happening. I highly recommend it, especially for those who’ve implemented some of the basic Juggernaut examples, and are keen to know more.
Other articles of note on ‘Rails Spikes’ are ‘Simplify […]

Oops, something’s wrong with the mail!

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

In about 10 minutes this evening, I’ve received 1600 and counting emails. They’re not the usual spam - but rather spam hiding as mail delivery failures. Anyone else had this problem? It seems that to receive so many in such a short time I’d have had to be targeted in some sort of way.

Update:
After a […]

Rails running on JavaScript

Monday, June 25th, 2007

Google have released a new project called TrimJunction; their vision:
In a nutshell: mindlessly copy and port Rails, because it’s a great web MVC framework. The result should be a web MVC framework that runs in either the client AND the server. While we’re at it, explore and push the edges of occasionally connected web applications. […]

Rails EC2 Image

Monday, June 25th, 2007

Paul Dowman has created a Ruby on Rails EC2 image for Amazon’s EC2 (ami-4e907527).
For those of you who don’t know what EC2 is, it’s basically an on-demand, flexible VPS service. Currently a little bit more expensive than dedicated VPS hosting, but worth it for the features.
Features are:

Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty),
Rails 1.2.3,
Ruby 1.8.5,
MySQL 5
EC2 command line tools
automatic […]

Does the iPhone have Flash or not?

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

Some specs for the iPhone’s browser capabilities have been released (and then hastily deleted). However - they say that the iPhone won’t support Flash which is a little bit odd, considering their advertising campaign clearly shows the iPhone render Flash.
You can clearly see the Flash rendering fine in the pic below (via Flashcomguru), perhaps this […]

Monday, June 18th, 2007

Came across this today. AsProject is a “cross platform, open source ActionScript development tool” developed by Luke Bayes. I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet but it sounds cool. From the site:
AsProject automates a variety of tasks including the creation of projects, classes, test cases, test suites, and swfmill libraries. It automates […]

Amazon’s next move?

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

Amazon has being moving into other areas, aside from shopping, for a while now. With S3, EC2 and the other arms of AWS (Amazon Web Services) they’ve developed quite a platform that developers can utilise to access unlimited resources and storage. All these services were developed in response to the challenges Amazon faced in […]
