interesting stuff, wonder how end-users will like the idea

http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/apollo/

cam · 19-03-2007, 08:39

the demo's they link to are fairly crap, but check out the ebay demo video.

the offline stuff is well impressive - flickr must be looking at this

smallbeer · 19-03-2007, 09:00

yum yum.

oli · 19-03-2007, 09:17

Impressive

Limbo · 19-03-2007, 09:47

Another tool to add to the list...

John Good · 19-03-2007, 11:04

that could be what I've been waiting for ages.

"Apollo is the code name for a cross-operating system runtime being developed by Adobe that allows developers to leverage their existing web development skills (Flash, Flex, HTML, JavaScript, Ajax) to build and deploy rich Internet applications (RIAs) to the desktop.

Apollo enables developers to create applications that combine the benefits of web applications – network and user connectivity, rich media content, ease of development, and broad reach – with the strengths of desktop applications – application interactions, local resource access, personal settings, powerful functionality, and rich interactive experiences."

dont adobe release soemthing like this everyweek?

oli · 19-03-2007, 18:27

Watch the ebay video

it's the online/offline syncing that is the magic in my view. Will make things like google docs/office etc. a viable proposition.

Basically, all the online apps people use that aren't *quite* as practical as just using Office etc. like email, contacts, project management (basecamp off-line?) are open to people who aren't online all the time, and who don't want all their data just stored on the internet and not locally as well.

Could be big.

Holy shit.

Now I really have to learn JavaScript and Ajax and about a million other things if I want to keep my job much longer.

Le sigh.

John Good · 20-03-2007, 01:49

piece of cake for a structured mind like yours

Transmogrify · 20-03-2007, 08:21

Like it, wonder how it handles machines that don't have the runtime installed. I'm going to try it out and try and build something.

dcypher.co.uk · 20-03-2007, 10:33

look really good to me

Evolution · 20-03-2007, 11:45

Verry nice, does anyone know if this will support php?

tomson · 20-03-2007, 11:48

i don't get it

cam · 20-03-2007, 11:52

support in what way? for development? i doubt it, if so

Transmogrify · 20-03-2007, 12:22

Oh and there's no linux runtime engine so that'll put a few people's noses out of joint.

paulanthony · 20-03-2007, 14:00

Linux support will come at a later stage.

i think the point is that you won't have to learn AJAX. doesn't this replace AJAX?
