Apollo Developer SDK 1.0a

Apollo is a very useful cross-operating system runtime being developed by Adobe that allows developers to leverage their existing web development skills (Flash, Flex, HTML, JavaScript, Ajax) to build and deploy rich Internet applications (RIAs) to the desktop.

Apollo enables developers to create applications that combine the benefits of web applications – network and user connectivity, rich media content, ease of development, and broad reach – with the strengths of desktop applications – application interactions, local resource access, personal settings, powerful functionality, and rich interactive experiences.

Apollo allows web developers to work with the development tools of their choice and the approaches they find most comfortable to build web content and Apollo applications.

Apollo allows web developers to extend their web-based applications to the desktop without learning traditional desktop development technologies or the complexity of native code.

Applications developed for Apollo will run across multiple operating systems without any additional work, and Apollo applications can be built quickly because developers will leverage their existing web development skills and design patterns.

The final release of Apollo developer tools and the Apollo application runtime will be available after the pre-release cycle is complete, expected later this year. Apollo will be provided free of charge.
