Creating Mashups with Adobe Flex and AIR
Web applications no longer need be powered by any one individual\'s data, and
they don\'t need to be confined to the desktop. Developers can draw on a wealth
of publicly available content, from providers such as Flickr, Amazon, Google,
Twitter, and Last.fm, and combine it for use in their own applications. Adobe
Integrated Runtime (AIR) makes it simple to bring previously web-only
applications to the desktop, allowing them to run alongside traditional
applications on an end user\'s computer.
In this book, you\'ll learn how to create mashup applications from the vast array
of web services, feeds, and APIs using Adobe Flash and Flex together with HTML
and JavaScript (Ajax). You\'ll be introduced to the various sources of
information and the tools necessary to gather and reuse that information, and
then you\'ll learn how to combine that content in a variety of ways.
You\'ll learn how to have desktop applications interact with online services such
as Flickr, you\'ll learn how to use Amazon S3 for enterprise-level data storage,
and you\'ll embrace technologies such as OpenID. In addition, you\'ll create
abstract visualizations based on music sourced from Last.fm and consume Twitter
content via RSS. You will also see how to use the Flash-native data format SWX
along with PHP to create a Yahoo! weather widget.
You\'ll discover just why you may want to build a widget or a desktop application
rather leaving things web-based; then you\'ll create an application using Flex
Builder and AIR and learn how best to distribute it. With so many tools and so
much data available, the possibilities for mashup creation are endless. Creating
Mashups with Adobe Flex and AIR provides all you need to get you up and running
quickly, while also giving you a solid understanding of the technologies
involved so you can take things further—to a place limited only by your
imagination.
In this book you\'ll learn
* how to use Flex 3 in conjunction with ActionScript 3.0 to build powerful
applications;
* how you can use Adobe AIR to take your application from the Web and onto
the desktop;
* the differences between developing for the Web and for the desktop;
* how you can use the APIs of popular web services such as Flickr, Amazon,
Google, Twitter, and Last.fm as data sources for your application; and
* how to optimize your applications for fast and efficient performance.
