Intro to Custom Events: Uses API that no longer exists

[outer89]

Hii!
I'm looking only now to jquery, and I was following your very nice tutorial.

wrt full example in http://learn.jquery.com/events/introduction-to-custom-events/ while triggering the call to twitter search api the following message is received:

jquery21009855909089092165_1393512219500({"errors":[{"message":"The Twitter REST API v1 is no longer active. Please migrate to API v1.1. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/overview.","code":64}]});

the API are no more supported, it will be useful and nice to change the api version for having a good and full example working. This is one of the few complete example you have in your site under the learning center, and it will really be a pity to mess it up.

I second that motion! The simple "Twitter Search" application isn't working..

The tutorial still uses API v1

Since v1.1 of the twitter API, this example application would get off-topic and too complicated. Any ideas for a better sample application, that would be 'easily' usable as an example?

Ideally there is the need of an application that either does not use a service subject to changes (or uses some services maintained by the community that return some simple data to be used) or change completely the example by providing another meaning to what custom events can be used for…

I'm going to look closer at this soon and try to rewrite it, unless @arthurvr feels inspired and wants to take it before I get to it.

Thanks @gnarf!

Looking at this again - I really think we can just get rid of the entire "sample application" --- The document up until then does a pretty good job of explaining it and also supports the conclusion.

[gnarf]

I mean http://learn.jquery.com/events/introduction-to-custom-events/#a-sample-application does this application actually provide anything concrete that I should try to reproduce in a new one?

@gnarf I think it's not critical, but would be nice to have. If there's an example you can think of, it would be great to have that added here to replace the twitter example. One of the objectives for us is to have more "real world" examples, so that would fit nicely. Otherwise, I agree that the article is well written and explains the topic clearly.
