Spring [br /] - Apollo Technical Overview

Kevin Hoyt from Adobe started his presentation using Dreamweaver (instead of Flex Builder). Demonstration of using the "adl" command line compiler against the apollo project xml file, which is necessary when you aren't using the Flex Builder plug-in. HTML onclick to open a new window will open a new Apollo window when it is rendered inside an Apollo app.

The ".air" files (the Apollo distribution/install file) is simply a zipped file. You can change the extension to .zip and view it with any zip archive viewer utility.

Occasionally Connected: listen for the Event.NETWORK_CHANGE event to take action when you are going on/off line.

File I/O: cross-platform file i/o built-in; for instance File.appStorageDirectory and file.resolve()

Kevin took a digital photo, then opened the jpeg file in an Apollo app and showed the image and the associated EXIF data.

This was a good follow-up to Ben Forta's lunchtime keynote.
