Adobe’s Apollo public Alpha is out
Adobe has just added the public alpha for Apollo over at Adobe Labs. I’ve talked about how cool Apollo is before (read the article and make sure you watch the videos), and now developers anywhere can actually start using it.
Adobe has released the SDK so you can start integrating the Apollo technology into your applications (guess where we’ll be doing some tests), the Apollo runtime and extensions for Flex Builder, if that’s what you use to develop your Flex applications. All these files (and documentation) are up for download.
Even though I’ve said this before, it isn’t bad to stress how important this technology is for the fusion between what are now “Desktop applications” and “Web applications”. Some argue we’re going to see the web mitigate the notion of a desktop computer – and this is pretty much one giant leap in that direction.

Great – there are downloads for Win and Mac. How cross-platform is that?
Not cross-platform enough for me.

Thanks for the link.
Apollo seems great, but I’m not using Flex so I’m wondering if i’d take full advantage if I was using it.
By the way, what do you think of SingleShot ? Another problem for me as I’m using PHP and Code Igniter instead of the required Ruby on Rails…
No framework seems to fit to my skills, I’m thinking of trying Ruby on Rails.
