Nov 302006
 


Mike Chambers has posted an update about Apollo on his blog. He talk about general update in the developemnt of Apollo and present a simple example of write/read file system.
Some interesting quotes :

[...]Remember, that this is a full HTML engine (WebKit), so all HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc… is supported.
[...]take an ActionScript object and write it out to the file system (or read it from the file system). Using the registerClassAlias API or meta data, you can even serialize and de-serialize custom classes. This makes it super simple to persist application state between sessions.
[...]The team is now starting to work on the next release (M3). Tons of new stuff going in including support for HTML / JavaScript based applications[...]

Anyway the presentation is interesting to watch, and I can’t wait to have the dev. release under my keyboard ;)
