  3. Who moved my browser? And how Adobe Apollo could help me.

  4. What is wrong with the browser • Security Model • Desktop Interaction • Conflicting Interface (eg back button) • Always online (of course) • Does my application work on all browsers. • Ajax to the rescue (really?) • The server must process everything (why?)

  5. What is wrong with the browser • Security Model • Desktop Interaction • Conflicting Interface (eg back button) • Always online (of course) • Does my application work on all browsers. • Ajax to the rescue (really?)

  6. What is good about the browser • XML, Javascript, Flash, Flex, WPF • Every OS has a browser (nearly) • Applications are deployed via the internet and are easy to update (just change code on server) • Reasonably safe from virus’s • Great at reading documents or brochures • Tabs *yay.

  7. So what does Apollo Do? • Cross platform runtime Mac / PC, 5Mb • Simply application deployment, one file • Application OS touch points • Drag and Drop, both in and out. • File system support, read/write/create (cannot execute, grrr) • Network caching, online, offline and detection. • Local connections – Flash in the browser can talk to Apollo on the desktop. • Run HTML, XML, Javascript, AJAX and Flex, Flash*

  8. Finetune

  9. Scrapblog in the browser

  10. Scrapblog – then on the desktop

  11. Tweetr – My experience

  12. Why does Apollo matter? • Other choices – Java, .net, MDM, widgets • Can use existing skills and knowledge • Works with HTML, AJAX, Javascript and Flex • PDF support to read and write PDF files. • One file to deploy for both mac/pc • Runtime and application bundle* • Application is not hidden within one of 3 open browsers on the 5th tab.

  13. What will Apollo be used for • We already have seen finetune, scrapblog • Hopefully we will see a youtube video uploader with clientside video encoding • Photo uploaders • MS office type functionality – Email – Word – Spreadsheet – Powerpoint. • IM clients, Twitter clients, blogging and CMS clients. • iTunes, iPhoto, Picassa…

  14. How to get started Apollo Runtime http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/apollo/ Developer tools here as well. Install Flex Builder (Eclipse), install Apollo SDK and Apollo runtime. Server mime type for .air files is "application/vnd.adobe.apollo-application-installer-package+zip"
