Adobe has just released the first public alpha of Apollo. Apollo is a cross-platform runtime environment 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. I have been playing with private builds of Apollo for about 6 weeks now, and I must admit that the Apollo/Flex platform is way too much fun! I hope to release my Twitter client over the next few days. I plan on releasing the source so you can check out how easy and fun it is to create Internet connected desktop applications.
