Opportunity is calling. Learn how to add
voice communications to your app.
Join Chuck Freedman and Wesley Leonardo on Sunday, August 17 for Ribbit Summer Spawn 2008. This seasonal spawn is part of the 360|Flex Conference and is FREE to all attendees so come into town a day early and join us the day before the conference opens. Jump in for a full day of code and information exchange on Ribbit, Flex and AIR - starting at 10am. Opportunity is calling for voice-enabled applications - learn how to answer that call! Its time to get in the game.

See how you can add voice into your Flex or AIR applications using Ribbit's new, open-source voice components for Flex. Drag and drop voice components including call console with keypad, voicemail information and Shout interfaces onto your stage in design mode. Explore how you can customize each open-source component to build simple applications or robust enterprise applications. Learn throughout the day and let us help you dig in during our hands on group building session in the afternoon.

We will be covering all things Ribbit and more. We'll dive into Flex components, AIR and PureMVC, covering a spectrum of technologies. If you haven't started using PureMVC, get a primer on the framework at Ribbit Summer Spawn 2008 and see it in action given the Ribbit Voice Components for Flex is built on it. Also see the power of AIR as we share examples using drag and drop assets from your desktop and using a local database.

Dive in for the entire day or float on by whenever you can - the doors will be open all day. We'll start at 10am and end at 4pm and look forward to your participation. To ensure we hold a seat for you, please reserve your spot. The Ribbit Voice Components for Flex will be released at our Summer Spawn event but if you want to start playing around with voice, download our SDK here.

If you are unable to join us in person or are not attending the 360|Flex Conference, there will be a on-demand broadcast of our Spawn event. To participate in the on-demand broadcast, sign up here.
