Welcome to the bulk_data_source_flex wiki!

Yehuda Katz presented the bulk_api for Rails at Sproutcore BOF and also expanded on the concept at his Building Rails Apps for the Rich Client talk during RailsConf 2011. You can get the gist of his talk during a recorded skype call he make: http://vimeo.com/24001983

I'm not yet sure where this wiki will end, but for now I'll keep information on How to Getting Started, FAQ, and other generic information.

The bulk_data_source is a Flex client library to access a Rails server that uses the bulk_api gem. It allows to quickly integrate a Flex application with Rails services. See the Getting Started to an example on how to build a simple todos application.

Checkout my screencast Building Rails App for Rich Client in which I show how to build a Rails app in a couple of minutes that is optimized for Rich Client. The application is a todo application build in Flex connecting using the bulk_api to the Rails server using my new bulk data source Flex framework.
