Apollo Links This Week

Send to friendPrinter-friendly version

I don't know if this is going to become a regular Friday thing or what, but I covered Apollo a few weeks ago, and thought I'd link to a few new articles that I found this week about Apollo.

First, Ryan Stewart has an interview with Alan Lewis from eBay about the eBay Apollo project, code named San Dimas. I worked with Alan, Charles Bihis (from Adobe), other Adobe employees, and the team from Effective UI (sweet website!) to build the Apollo application. The ActionScript source code for the eBay APIs will be open source soon, stay tuned.

Duane Nickull has some early screenshots of Flex / Apollo integration. Here's another blog entry on building out an Apollo application file.

Mike Downey has taken a new position as Senior PM for Apollo. Congrats on the new role Mike. Ryan Stewart speculates that this is the start of an "all-star" team from Adobe and wonders who else will be joining the team. Stay tuned.

Mike Downey links to a video by Chris Brichford who gave a presentation at MAX about the HTML rendering engine in Apollo.

Here are some photos of Mike Chambers presentation about Apollo at Flash in the Can Hollywood.

JavaLobby has an article comparing Apollo to desktop Java.
