VMware, Inc. 9 About vSphere Web Client SDK The vSphere Web Client SDK Documentation provides information about developing extensions to the ® ® VMware vSphere Web Client and the VMware vSphere Client in vSphere 6.5. VMware provides many APIs and SDKs for different applications and goals. This documentation provides information about the extensibility framework of the vSphere Web Client and the vSphere Client for developers that are interested in extending the Web applications with custom functionality. Intended Audience This information is intended for anyone who wants to extend the vSphere Web Client and the vSphere Client with custom functionality in vSphere 6.5. Users typically are software developers who use Flex or ActionScript, or HTML and JavaScript, to create graphical user interface components that work ® with VMware vSphere . VMware Technical Publications Glossary VMware Technical Publications provides a glossary of terms that might be unfamiliar to you. For definitions of terms as they are used in VMware technical documentation, go to http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs. Knowledge Requirements for Using the vSphere Web Client SDK Developing extensions for the vSphere Client and the vSphere Web Client by using the vSphere Web Client SDK, requires expertise with MXML and ActionScript, or HTML and JavaScript, and Java. n The vSphere Web Client SDK provides a custom Model-View-Controller framework, also called Frinje framework. Understanding how the Frinje framework implements the MVC pattern is essential to developing data view extensions. The graphic elements of the View component of the MVC framework are implemented in MXML classes and the logic elements of the View component are implemented in ActionScript classes.

  • Current Trends in Vector-Based Internet Mapping: a Technical Review
    Chapter 3 Current Trends in Vector-Based Internet Mapping: A Technical Review Christophe Lienert, Bernhard Jenny, Olaf Schnabel, and Lorenz Hurni Abstract Possibilities and limitations of Internet cartography software largely depend on the pace set by the software industry. The variety of commercial and non-commercial software caters for the needs of a continuously growing mapping community, including both professional and amateur cartographers. This chapter provides an overview of state-of-the-art technologies for vector-based Web- mapping as of the beginning of 2011. Both proprietary and open format technologies are discussed for vector data rendering in browsers, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. The discussed technologies are Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight, Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), JavaFX, Canvas, and WebGL. The chapter also discusses client and server side frameworks which provide Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for creating custom interactive maps, mainly by overlaying raster images with vector data. 3.1 Introduction Internet maps are the major form of spatial information delivery, as the Internet is today the primary medium for the transmission and dissemination of maps (Peterson 2008). For map authors, the maze of available techniques for creating and distributing Web maps is overwhelming, while authoring tools for Web-maps meeting the demands of high-quality cartography are difficult to find. Map authors may choose between GIS and graphics software products to create maps for the Internet, but these off-the-shelve maps oftentimes fall short of effectively convey- ing information. There are three main reasons for this shortcoming: (a) the design of these maps sometimes does not take into account the specific limitations of digital displays (Jenny et al., 2008); (b) the maps are often restricted in using standard C.

Martin Miko Brno, 2011 Declaration Hereby I declare, that this paper is my original authorial work, which I have worked out by my own. All sources, references and literature used or excerpted during elaboration of this work are properly cited and listed in complete reference to the due source. Advisor: doc. RNDr. Tomáš Pitner, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgement I would like to thank to doc. RNDr. Tomáš Pitner, Ph.D. whose guidance, many inspiring ideas, remarks, and above all patience made all this possible. Without his good will this work would never be born. Also I would like to thank to all my friends, who stood behind me, had to cope with my moodiness and helped in many ways in the time of need. And last, but not least, I would like to thank to my family for their support and understanding. iii Abstract The aim of this work is to describe, analyse and compare selected important rich Internet application platforms that allow desktop deployment. Analysed platforms are Adobe AIR using applications built in Adobe Flex and Microsoft Silverlight. Secondary aim of this work is demonstration of capabilities offered by AIR framework and comparison of AIR applica- tions to solutions based on JavaScript. To compare and analyse various platforms, a comparison or benchmarking method is required, but unluckily no relevant methods exist. This work proposes a benchmarking method that allows complex comparison of this type of platforms. Method is based on gen- eral requirements of users and developers.

Leila Svantro Institutionen för informationsteknologi Department of Information Technology Abstract Adobe Flash Professional for iOS Game Development - a Feasible and Viable Alternative to Xcode? Leila Svantro Teknisk- naturvetenskaplig fakultet UTH-enheten The smartphone operating system iOS is the second highest ranked after Android.

Many developers are learning game Ångströmlaboratoriet Lägerhyddsvägen 1 development or refreshing their skills to profit on this trend. The problem statements Hus 4, Plan 0 are: is it viable and feasible to use Adobe Flash Professional (AFP) for the iOS game development compared to Xcode and could AFP be used exclusively for iOS game Postadress: development? Information on both IDEs has been analyzed. Furthermore, Box 536 751 21 Uppsala implementations and code comparisons have been made. The results and analysis shows differences regarding expenses while possibilities for developing the same kind Telefon: of games essentially are equivalent. The conclusions are that AFP is a viable IDE for 018 – 471 30 03 iOS game development in the aspect of possibilities. It is not feasible on a long-term Telefax: basis when considering the expenses however it could be feasible on a short-term 018 – 471 30 00 basis depending on the developer’s requirements of extension and Mac OS for App Store publishing.
