Understanding Apollo During my recent visit to the US, I popped into the Adobe office in San Francisco to find out more about Apollo - the company's new RIA (Rich Internet Application) runtime and development platform. I sat down with Mike Chambers - Apollo Senior Product Manager, developer relations - to figure out what Apollo is all about and where it's headed in the future. Christian Cantrell, another Product Manager on the Apollo team, joined us midway through to show me some of the newest Apollo apps. In this post, I summarize that meeting - but also I aim to give a kind of 'Apollo for Dummies' overview (because until that meeting I was one of those dummies!). Mike started off by explaining to me that Apollo aims to bring web apps to the desktop, in contrast to Microsoft's WPF which comes from the desktop to the Web (it's worth noting though that Mike doesn't believe Apollo competes with WPF). Apollo in layman's terms Adobe Media Player Examples of early Apollo apps Conclusion
Ext JS Blog - » Building a desktop application with Ext, AIR, Ap June 30, 2007 | Jack Slocum Ext JS is an excellent framework for building web applications that have desktop like functionality in a web browser. But what if you could take your JavaScript powered application and run on the desktop like any other native application? The launch of Adobe AIR (formerly Apollo) has made this not only a reality, but extremely easy. Get Aptana With the new Aptana AIR plugin creating an AIR app was easy, even for a newbie like me. 2. 3. Coding the application Coding the UI of the AIR application was indentical to coding any other Ext application. Ext.data.SqlDB and Google Gears support The other challenge faced was when I wanted to run the same application in a browser. Building the application Can Aptana make this any easier? Simple Tasks I started out with low expectations - just making a simple application in AIR using Ext. While Adobe Air is still being refined, I have the feeling that this is the start of something great. More Information

Christophe Coenraets » Flex-based SQLAdmin for Google Gears I spent the last few days building a Flex/Google Gears integration demo that Kevin Lynch demonstrated during the Gears announcement today at the Google developer day in San Jose. The demo is a Flex-based Sales Force Automation application that uses Gears to save data to a local SQLite database while offline, and automatically synchronizes back with the server when you reconnect to the network. There is a browser-based version of the application using Gears for the local database access, and an Apollo version using Apollo’s built-in SQLite support. I will post the code and more information about the application after cleaning it up a little bit. In the meantime, here is a SQLAdmin app that I built to help me manipulate my Gears database as I was building the demo. You can run the application here. To use the app with your own databases, download the application here, and run it from the same domain as the database you wish to inspect. The source code is available here
