Creating Mashups with Adobe Flex and AIR (Paperback)

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 furtherto 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.
