The Apollo Alpha has been released on Adobe Labs. Grab it now, grab it while it's hot!!!

The Apollo Developer SDK, sample applications, and Apollo documentation provide everything a developer needs to start building applications. There are also technical articles, developer videos, and sample applications located throughout the Labs site.

Apollo will be featuring at webDU 2007 this year as part of the keynote on Day 1, and in a number of other sessions on the agenda, just 3 days from now!

webDU 2007 is barely more than 2 weeks away (21 March for the Workshops, 22-23 March for the Conference), and in my excitement to count down the days until it starts I have been playing around with creating gadgets for the Windows Vista Sidebar. I've whipped up a very simple gadget which contains the webDU 2007 logo and a simple counter that displays the number of days to go until the big event. This is what it will look like on your sidebar/desktop: I've also added the option to choose to count down to either the Workshops or the Conference, as seen below: I've uploaded the gadget to the Windows Live Gallery site and it has already received over 150 downloads without me even telling anyone about it, which is kind of surprising :) I don't know how many of you who are attending webDU will be running Vista, but I hope at least a few of you find this gadget useful! Download the webDU 2007 Countdown gadget Feel free to provide feedback or suggestions on the Live Gallery site or here on my blog. And if you're seeing funky problems with the colours and layout on my blog it's just because I'm still hacking BlogCFC to pieces (no, not really) while I get everything set up. Also, special thanks to Geoff Bowers for allowing me to use the webDU logo. Cheers Geoff, see you at the conference :)
