Integrating Flash with Hardware
With the continually decreasing cost of hardware, and the trend towards open source, it's now easier to get started with electronics than ever before. The next obvious step is to connect your electronics project to the Flash Platform – but how? In this session get an overview of two prototyping platforms (Phidgets and Arduino) and instruction on how to leverage them from Adobe AIR and Flash. We’ll explore various components and sensors along the way, ranging from photocells and servos, to weather stations and RFID.

Creating Mashups with Adobe Flex & AIR is a friends of Ed book written by Chris Korhonen, David Hassoun and John Crosby. The purpose of this book is to give an overall idea on how to integrate various popular websites’ APIs into one application written in Flex for use in a web browser or on the desktop.
I think that the title is a bit misleading. When I think of a mashup, I think of an application that takes data from one source and applies it in a unique way to another source. For example, an application that takes a zip code and pulls all the flickr photos for that zip and then displays their location on a Google map. Most of the implementations in this book tell you how to interact with various APIs but all of them separately, but in the same application. The book does give you the know-how to connect to these websites, but creating the unique mashup is up to the reader. |
