Hello Vicente,

 

The SMS service is provided by a company that acts as a SMS gateway to the three main mobile operators in Portugal. This service is provided by an arrangement with them, that let us use their service while our project is for educational purposes only, paying for the sent SMS. If the application becomes commercial, the arrangement will be made between them and our final client. Here in Portugal normally the service is charged with an annual fee, for the rent of the gateway, and a considerable price for each SMS sent varying on the number of SMS sent.

 

If you want more information, we can discuss it offtopic: just reply this mail to joao.saleiro AT webfuel.pt. I’ve only answered to the OsFlash ML because there may be others wanting information on this subject. J

 

Long live osflash,

 

João Saleiro

Congratulations João!

 

This is a very good sample of a great intuitive, functional and beauty web application. Nice work!

I'm curious about SMS integration you have implemented. To be specific, it's about numbers/investment.

I don't know if you're from Brazil, Portugal, Angola or any other portuguese spoken country, but it would be nice to me to know how are you implementing this (your own, or client existent infra-structure, a telecom contract or any other option...). If the last one applies to you, how are they charging you? By traffic? By number of messages? I'm going to implement an web application to do it, but I'm experiencing some difficult to get informations like that on brazilians telecom companies. So, I believe that following your path would help me.

 

And, as I believe it could be off-topic here, my personal email is: vpmjrATtransnology.com.br

 

Thanks a lot, and one more time, congratulations!

Assunto: [osflash] OsFlash sucess story :o) Thank you OsFlash!!

Hello,

 

Following the ARP success stories, but considering that not only ARP, but all the OS technologies we’ve used are responsible for this story, I’ve decided to tell our story at osflash mailing list. :o)

 

I use Flash since 2001, and from the very beginning I’ve felt that Flash would represent a turning point on what we call an “application” and how we experience the web. This year, 2006, I’m finishing my graduation on Computers and Telecommunications Engineering at ISCTE, Portugal, and I’ve proposed as my final graduation project the development of a RIA for managing fashion modeling agencies – requested by a (probably future) client. I have a colleague working in this with me, and on March we’ve finished the SRS.

We were using the Flash IDE, but at 29th March,2006 I’ve seen  a post on the king Aral Balkan’s site, titled “Open Source Flash Case Study for TradingPost.com.au”. Quoting:  “In the study, Edwards mentions how their use of open source tools saved them over 110 hours in compile time”. I’ve got curious and started investigating on open source flash technologies.

 

Today, after two months, I’m proud to present an almost finished prototype of our application, at http://www.castingoffice.net . After cleaning for bugs, the current version is for presenting at faculty on July, and the final version of the application will only be finished on October.  Probably the application will be a bit slow depending on your internet connection, but it is intended to be run on a LAN, so connection speed will not be a problem.

 

To login into the application, you can use the following account:

 

User: osflash

Pass: test

 

I’ve removed this account server side permissions for uploading and deleting images, and sending SMS. To change the language to English, just mouse over where it says PT, on the right top corner. I alert you that it is not fully localized, so there might be some strings that won’t change to English yet.  I also alert you to the fact that this is only a prototype, so the application is not fully functional, and there might be some bugs and interface improvements missing.

 

We’ve used:

 

MTASC

AMFPHP

Eclipse+ASDT+ANT+AnyEdit

ASWING

ARP + extensions (Herreman’s Configuration and Locale; Grant Davies’ Command,System Controller and ServiceDelegate; and some modifications we’ve made)

PHPThumb

PHP

MySQL

 

We have also used (not open-source):

 

Flash 8 IDE

ServiceCapture (trial, until it expired! L  L)

Navicat MySQL Client

 

 

 

Some interesting features:

-          Intuitive IDE, with usability in mind;

-          Application can send mass SMS;

-          The search is very fast, and sensible;

-          Automatic synchronization of models with the server;

-          The look and feel;

 

I hope you like it (opinions are very welcome)… if you do, our teachers will surely like too!  (as we hope so) ;).

 

But the most important.. THANK YOU OSFLASH, THANK YOU!!!  J J J

 

João Saleiro

 

PS: Once you go ‘osflash’, you never return
