Mike Downey: Getting started with Apollo

Introduces Apollo to the audience. Apollo is the first space mission that made it to the moon. So Adobe is very excited about this product. Apollo is a codename, the official name will be made public around Summer. Or maybe let’s see how many Duvel beers Mike needs before telling us the name.

Talks about how it is possible to integrate with the flash api from within html content and vice versa.
Apollo APIs: File System Access, Network Detection, Notifications, Application Update, Drag and Drop, …

Now Demos the Ebay Desktop Application: enables you to use Ebay services on the desktop. Cool thing is that you can drag stuff from the Apollo app and release it on the desktop. The app created an excell sheet. Shows how to take pictures with a web cam in Apollo. In the background, jpg files are written to the file system. Now creates a new auction but doesn’t submit it. Working on a live account and almost sold his watch for 5 dollars some weeks ago

Now shows apollobook, by Ely Greenfield. A flip book example with live html pages. Ultra geeky cool!

Will now show how to build an Apollo app. Unfortunately, my laptop is running out of juice. I’ll charge it the Chess Café while enjoying a superb Spaghetti Chess.
