Apollo is the code name for a 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.

This alpha version of the Apollo runtime provides developers with the opportunity to begin building applications for Apollo.  Future releases will provide more stability, more desktop integration, and enhanced support for Ajax developers.

The Apollo Developer SDK, sample applications, and Apollo documentation provide everything a developer needs to start building applications. There are also technical articles, developer videos, and sample applications located throughout the Labs site.

Max Kiesler put together a nice collection of eye candy resources. He mentions his interest in data visualization was in part due to the digg spy. This is an except of his post where Max explains his motivations behind putting the list together:

“As an interaction designer I’m always wondering what’s next. Over the last few years we’ve become familiar with web application design, new constructs like recency and popularity, however, in the back-channel of web design there has been an increasing movement towards data visualizations, both large and small. You can currently see this in everything from blog design to large-scale data visualizations like We Feel Fine and digg labs. Designers and programers are coming together in new ways, which in the end result are producing some of the most functional, and creative web interfaces I’ve ever seen.“

Personally, I’d like to see more innovative uses of Ajax with some of the resources he has listed here and the growing number of Web APIs. I think we will see them in 2007 as Ajax interest continues to climb two years after the phrase was coined. What are your opinions?

Dustin Diaz has written a post on the pattern technique called currying. For those of you not familiar with currying, it’s basically the transformation of an input into a new function. Dustin’s opinion is that:

[currying]…leads to clever programming. It is also one of the places in JavaScript where functional programming wins over object oriented practices.

It’s been a great week in terms of YUI offerings. Here’s another nice offer:

“Coinciding with this week’s release of YUI version 2.2.0, the one year anniversary of the YUI open-source release, and as announced at the YUI Party just moments ago, we’re opening up free YUI hosting from the Yahoo! network to all YUI implementers. If you’re using YUI for your own project, we’ll serve the files for you — gzipped, with good cache-control, using our state-of-the-art network, for free. You can count on these files being continuously available because they’re the same files, served by the same source, that we use for most YUI implementations at Yahoo!.

Files served from Yahoo!’s network include version numbers in filepaths, allowing you to reference a specific version in your code. Previous versions are retained even as new versions are released. While we are providing no explicit SLA with respect to the availability of legacy code, our current policy is to support permanent availability of legacy YUI files.”

Today the Yahoo! UI Library just got a little bigger with the addition of some “beta” components including:

1. Button Control - “provides a platform for implementing visually impactful buttons that range from standard click-to-navigate buttons to radio buttons and checkboxes to advanced split-buttons that can operate as both a button and a menu.”
2. Browser History Manager - “supports all A-Grade browsers in managing the back/forward button navigation and bookmarking for dynamic web pages.”
3. DataTable Control - “allows you to present tabular data and allow your user to engage that presentation by modifying/enhancing the data, sorting and searching through it, and adjusting the presentation itself (by, for example, changing column widths). DataTable’s debut featureset includes:”
   • Progressive enhancement: DataTable is built on the foundation of HTML table element markup, providing a solid progressive-enhancement path.
   • Nested column headers
   • Custom sort functions
   • XHR data sources: Integration with Connection Manager offers robust support for pulling in off-page data.
   • Inline editing: Contents of cells can be editable, allowing users to update the information they’re reviewing.

Other changes with this release are the reorganization of utility classes, the YAHOO Global Object, and the YAHOO_config global.

The new versioning has to do with merging an internal library which “were identical, the way we built and distributed them was different and we managed those differences with separate versioning tracks.”

Although it may come to a shock to some of you, Microsoft has actually put together a cool web application called Keyword Forecast. Using it you can compare up to four keywords and it will spit out some pretty graphs forecasting the impression count vs. time, keyword age distribution, and keyword gender distribution. This is similar to Google Trends but Google’s tool just gave a historical view of keywords and didn’t get into age and gender distributions although it did break it down geographically. Can someone say mashup opportunity here?

Very cool for anyone out there like myself who is always looking for new ways to identify not only good keywords but an innovative concept that you’re not sure will still be viable in a few months.

On a whim, I decided to try the tool out with the keywords: ajax, javascript, rails, and php and here’s the output: (as you can see Ajax is expected to sky rocket in the coming months)
