In his keynote Kevin Lynch said it would take 5 minutes to get your flex app into Apollo. He wasn’t kidding. I had my cairngorm based flex app into apollo in under 5 minutes.. great job flex/apollo team. Way to come through and I was told to give a special thanks to Mike Chambers for tonights events…. This really is as cool as i thought it would be.. See my app in apollo below Click image to enlarge.
It’s true! It really is that easy!
I just showed the same thing to a colleague, created a new Apollo project, copied in my MXML and AS files, and voi la! I now have an Apollo application. The best thing here is that you can now have the same codebase for the web and the desktop, covering cross browser and cross operating system … you’ve gotta love that!
Nice but I actually wonder why you need to build an Apollo application in order to get the new html component. Why isn’t it in Flex???? Web based application would benefit from this component as well.
