Apache Flex

Apache Flex

Apache Flex, previously called as Adobe Flex, is a SDK (software development kit) for the development and deployment of cross-platform rich Internet applications based on the Adobe Flash platform. Flex uses MXML to define UI layout and other non-visual static aspects, ActionScript to address dynamic aspects and as code-behind, and requires Adobe AIR --or-- Flash Player at runtime to run the application.




Adobe AIR

Adobe AIR

Adobe AIR, previously called Adobe Integrated Runtime, is a runtime environment that allows Adobe Flash content and ActionScript 3.0 code to construct applications and video games that run outside a web browser, and behave as a native application on supported platforms. It is a cross-platform runtime system developed by Adobe Systems for building desktop applications and mobile applications, programmed using Adobe Flash, ActionScript and optionally Apache Flex. The runtime supports installable applications on Windows, OS X and mobile operating systems like Android, iOS and BlackBerry Tablet OS (it also runs on Linux, but support was discontinued as of version 2.6 in 2011).

What is GraphQL

What is GraphQL

GraphQL is a query language and runtime that can provide a common interface between client and server applications for fetching and manipulating data. Query responses are decided by the client rather than the server. A GraphQL query returns exactly what a client asks for and no more. A GraphQL query itself is a hierarchical set of fields. The query is shaped just like the data it returns. It is a natural way for product engineers to describe data requirements.
