WebORB for Rails preview release countdown

Good news for anyone anticipating our release of WebORB for Rails. A preview release of the product will be available as early as August 22nd. The release will include the following features:
  • Full AMF0 support - (primitives, strings, dates, arrays, complex types as arguments or return values)
  • Full AMF3 support (same capacity as AMF0)
  • Ability to invoke any function on the ruby classes deployed in a designated folder
  • Declaration of deployed services using standard Flex configuration file (remoting-config.xml)
We're so excited about it, we created a little (fully reusable) Flex countdown component for the event (Click the 'powered by' link to create your own free countdown timer):

This is great! I actually just started researching using RoR and Flash!

Doh! I'm 95% done converting a AMFPHP site to Rails (using XML), guess I'll be converting it back to remoting tomorrow (thankfully it's a small site)

The is the first and last time I'll ever say "I can't wait to build a site for the third time!"

Most Railers are ambivalent or outright hostile to Flash hopefully this will change some minds.

The countdown just finished and no take off yet :-) Cool I saw the last 12 seconds! I am eager to try out WebOrb, we played around with integrating amf4r with Rails (flexonrails.com) over a year ago and didn't pursue it further but I am still interrested in integrating both technologies.
