Raf Vervink & Nicolas Lierman (These Days) at MultiMania 07
Raf Vervink & Nicolas Lierman are doing a session on “Flex/Apollo RIA Goodness”.
They show us what is all possible with Flex & Apollo today.
The main point of interest in their session is Google Analytics.
Google Analytics hasn’t got a public API, so they wrote a GA ActionScript 3 API and a GA client in Flex running in Apollo, entitled “Google Analytics Reporting Suite“. With this Apollo app they want to bring Google Analytics to the desktop and provide powerful extra features the desktop has to offer.
The big deal about this is:
- 3+ million users will have instant access to GA from the desktop
- It will reduce Google’s bandwith cost
- It’s just too cool
They’ve shown us how to build a widget for the desktop with Flex and Apollo, using their GARS SWC component.
Which was pretty easy! And thus even cooler!
The widget will be available for download on their labs from tomorrow.
Nice work guys!
