Apollo: How Alpha is Alpha?

Dietrich Kappe, Tuesday, May 29, 2007 @ 5:16 am

Jan Erik Paulsen has been writing some sample Apollo applications. In his view, Apollo isn't quite there yet:

The Apollo SDK also feels a bit lightweight for something coming out of
Adobe. Apollo/Flex is very powerful indeed, but the SDK does not
reflect this. Third party applications are currently in crash-o-rama
spectacular mode since about 60% of non-Adobe demo applications throw
exceptions. It is alpha after all.

Yes, it is alpha software, but 60%? I've seen about the same rate. That seem a bit high. Presumably these apps all ran on the developer's local machine. I know that is a bad way to test apps, but since they aren't a) complicated and b) running on a supposedly platform independent runtime, you would expect this rate to be a bit lower.
