This book describes concisely how Apollo works, and offers numerous examples for those who want to start building RIAs for the desktop right away.<br /> <br /> Why put RIAs on the desktop? They're already supposed to offer the responsiveness of desktop programs. Unfortunately, web browsers were designed to deliver and display HTML-based documents, not applications. The conflict between document- and application-focused functionality creates several problems when deploying applications via the browser.<br /> <br /> Adobe Apollo gives you the best of both worlds -- the web development model and true desktop functionality. This pocket guide explains how to:<ul> <li>Set up your development environment</li> <li>Create your first application</li> <li>Use the File I/O API</li> <li>Use HTML within Flex-based Apollo applications</li> <li>Use the included Apollo mini-cookbook for common tasks</li> </ul> The book also includes a guide to Apollo packages, classes, and command-line tools. Once you understand the basics of building a Flex-based Apollo application, this pocket guide makes an ideal reference for tackling specific problems.<br /> <br /> <b>Adobe Developer Library</b> is a co-publishing partnership between O'Reilly Media and Adobe Systems, Inc. and is designed to produce the number one information resources for developers who use Adobe technologies.
