The installation ( Apollo runtime ) of this Alpha weighs about 6Mb - for Windows. The Demo (Apollo sample applications) do not weigh even 600Kb. After installing the Apollo runtime will seem nothing changed on your PC (not added any links on the desktop or taskbar), even though you have installed - in fact - the new browser from Adobe!

We often talked about the use of the Web Application (Web2.0) and how the software market is moving to online applications typically installed on our machine. Last important signal by Adobe (see Net Software ) that wants to release - or is starting to drop - a set of software online.

Today I propose to you a really great tool, Weebly , which aims to create a website online, complete with domain (tuoweb. weebly.com) and tools for editing really interesting. See the video demo below.

The idea, of course, is not new, but the approach Weebly clearly shows why short-must have Adobe Photoshop online will really be a step forward. In addition to ease of use this service offers interesting editing tools such as RSS readers, inclusion of Google Maps, Video input (from various sources) and more. The use of Ajax and DHTML (Dynamic HTML) is really used for, which makes the job of editing really easy and affordable for everyone.
The interesting point, in my opinion, is that when you insert an image you can turn a small editor for daily operations as diverse as Crop - crop - and Resize - resize.

We just rolled out a couple of new features: You can now Edit, Crop, Resize, Adjust and Enhance your pictures in the new integrated image editor Snipshot, we'll present a warning (but allow you to continue) if you are using an unsupported browser, we released some small updates to the themes, and a couple other small changes & fixes.

The fundamental issue lies here. A short tools like Weebly can use image editor like Adobe Photoshop, which will make the business of Web Design Online editing of the traditional.
Obviously this is only part of what might happen; editor Video, Audio and Text are the next to enter advanced forcefully online!

It happened to turn the TV Net TV, as had happened to become a Radio Net Radio, not to mention the music! Now, as mentioned in other posts, it's official for the Software to transform short-term Net Software!

Adobe , which we know has recently acquired Macromedia, formalizes the Web Application - Web 2.0 - in real RIA (Rich Internet Applications) with the announcement of wanting to take on the popular Web editing software Photoshop. It is the latest ' agreement between Adobe   and Photobucket   to make available online a technology for editing and video remix. Thanks to new technology developed for Flash 9 with ActionScript 3.0 , Adobe aims high, anticipating that within six months will be available online version of Photoshop based precisely on Flash technology.

Indeed, the new possibilities of ActionScript 3.0 (involving projects such as Flex and Apollo - see also Web2.0: Adobe is trying to Apollo and Ajax Rich Internet Application ) makes it the perfect candidate for the implementation of true on the Web Ajax RIA , on the other hand, we see ousted from his throne in this new scenario. Despite the countless Ajax Framework, some excellent, produced during the last few years, Flash provides an environment most advanced and easy to manipulate. Also we talk about one of the world's most popular plugins: Flash has it behind a few years older than Ajax and derivatives.

Furthermore, it is obvious that the Adobe Flash chooses, he being the producer now. However there are technical issues that may be considered - to date - only to be resolved in a harmonious application of technologies such as Flash. Taking a look at the new ActionScript 3.0 we immediately realize the tremendous possibilities of development offered by this new platform. The ECMA standard language and new items made ​​available by the framework allow you to reach a level of detail possible with previous versions of Flash: one of all, for example, the ability to access data from an uploaded image Bitmap hard!

The attack by Adobe seems to take place on two fronts so distinct that they have in common the Flash technology (which remember has always been the ability to actively interact with the browser and then with Javascript Client side and server-side scripting).

The first attack takes place outside, on the browser side, where the technology Apollo is really proposed as an alternative to the usual kernel of the different platforms, available today (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, etc. ...); use Adobe Apollo , then, instead browser for best performance and applications (RIAs real) unthinkable, thus bypassing the incompatibility between Internet Explorer, FireFox and companionship. In addition, Apollo provides a single development platform, JavaScript-like Ajax, but without compatibility issues. This last point is a significant setback to technologies like Ajax, which still suffer greatly with issues of browser compatibility, do not forget, moreover, made the whole issue (rendering) graphical CSS!

The other attack is from inside, hitting Ajax Framework with Flash card. The winning element in this strategy lies in the use of Flash, the Flash technology, which is applicable both in Flex , both in Apollo , both as a standalone version already are accustomed to seeing (simple SWF file for instance)! There is no doubt that this scenario is extremely attractive to developers, and Web. What becomes immediately realizable Flash reusable in various ways, without forcing me to change a single line of code and, moreover, without worrying about compatibility!

This, in my opinion, is an important step forward, a change of considerable proportions, which also involves the world of games and Marketing. We'll talk again soon, make no mistake!

Apollo is the code name (for now) of an ambitious project in the world for Adobe RIAs (Rich Internet Applications) and Web 2.0, including Ajax. Someone remembers Macromedia Contribute, Macromedia Central to someone else. There is, also, who sees in Apollo simple union - or opportunity - to bring together elements of Flash and PDF (something which has already been feasible with Flash Paper)!
