Like many early IM users, I was a heavy user of AIM for a very long time. (I also had a 6 digit ICQ number, but the lack of friends on the network led to me abandoning it). The first IM platform I implemented on what eventually became the IM support in Tropo was AIM. AIM holds a special place in my heart.
UPDATE, Sept 3, 2010: – After some discussion, the consensus is to make the language library naming even a bit easier for developers and move the module names from “tropo-webapi” to simply “tropo”. The table below has been updated to show the change.
As promised, the Scripting Guide now includes PHP examples! These go along with the original JavaScript examples and the recently added Ruby examples. Now when you go take a look at each chapter, you’ll see:
Saturday and Sunday, a bunch of developers wrapped up Seattle Geek Week by participating in an hackathon to build apps with government APIs and data. Here’s what you missed…
For the Gnomedex hackathon we sponsored this weekend, I spent most of my time helping out teams who were building things using Tropo. But mid-morning today, inspiration struck for my own project. It’s not huge, so I was able to hack it together quickly and it’s a great sample app.
Approximately 20 passionate programmers participated in Tropo and Socrata‘s open government 24-hour Tinkerstorm (or Hack-a-thon) in conjunction with Chris Pirillo‘s GnomeDex 2010. We are currently at the half-way point of the competition. Bill Schrier (Seattle’s CTO) stopped by to check on the status of the projects and provide additional inspiration. Max Ogden and Reid Beels flew in from Portland, Oregon and Mark Silverberg flew in from Washington, DC just to participate in our Tinkerstorm!
This weekend a number of the Tropo crew have descended upon Seattle for Gnomedex and Seattle Geek Week. We’re hosting the final geek week event, Gnomedex’s Tinkerstorm: an open government themed hackathon.
In a blatant show of favoritism (stemming from our VP of Innovation Jason Goecke, a true Rubyist if there ever was one), we have now included Ruby code examples in the Tropo Scripting Guide.
Decisions for Heroes provides a web-based application that helps organize and analyze rescue operations and training exercises.
