FOTB Note List

Dec 082006
 

metah logoNo time for me to assist to FOTB, but I’ve found some resources about it on the web. The first I wanted to share is the note presentation of Francis Bourre about “Everything you always wanted to know about a game development but were afraid to ask”. Full of information and links, an useful reading.
Geoff Stearns presentation note are also online : “Flash in a Web 2.0 world“, or how to integrate Flash project in web dev, a topic that always interested me.

I’ll post more links here as soon as I found them, if you got some please share ;)

GPS loves GSM :)

Telko from J2Mobile has write a post about the fast introduction of GPS in mobile, and also point out the passage from JSR82 to JSR179. But all these news are for J2ME, I hope that Adobe Flash Lite developers will create for us an API for bluetooth/ GPS with Flash Lite 3.0. But I guess there are still plenty of time before FL3.0.
By the way, Flash Lite 2.1 player for Symbian are now available for free (via Alessandro ). It’s an excellent news that finally the player is free (and without IMEI lock), just spread it.

Mobile Registration Process

Dec 032006
 

I had to create a simple system to validate the user of a mobile phone, for our social-Gps based soft. The main point to be validate is the email and the phone number.
So here’s how I did it :

Process Pattern

Subscription Process

  • The new user have to fill a form with different information (phone number and email).
  • A new row is created in the database with all information and a random temporary password.
  • Then a mail is sent to the new user with his temporary password

    • Validation Process

  • The user must send a SMS to our SMS-gateway
  • The gateway send to a PHP file the Phone Number and the temporary password
  • At this point we are sure about the user email and his phone number
  • PHP send a new mail, with the final user ID and the final password

    • Registration process

  • The user enter in the soft his userId and his final password
  • The application information can now be trusted

    • For the SMS-gateway I use Truesenses and it cost a monthly fee of 5.- Chf ( +/- 4€). It’s really simple to use as you receive two values : $Number and $Message (Post) in a Php file.

    If anyone got an idea about a more simple & powerfull way to “trust” mobile user please tell me :)
