Hello, I'm Christophe Coenreats, technical evangelist with Adobe.
Today, I'd like to show you a couple of dashboard applications running on tablets.
[Data Visualization Apps for iOS, Android and BlackBerry PlayBook]
I've been talking to a number of customers,
and it looks like some of the first applications that they want to build for mobile devices,
specifically tablets, are dashboards and data visualization-type applications.
So I built a simple dashboard application
that I'd like to show you now.
So I'll start the application.
So as you can see, the application is essentially a dashboard portal,
and you have different dashboards here.
I will start with this first one,
which is simply a two-level drill down.
So I can select a region in that pie chart.
And you see that at the bottom I have a product breakdown,
and I can see how different products are performing in different regions.
And I can then configure the way the pie chart
is going to be displayed, and I can also configure
the way the column chart at the bottom is going to be displayed.
This is really the charting components coming
with Flex out of the box.
So let me start a second chart
with an additional level of drill down.
So I still have a pie chart on the left here,
and you see that when I select a region
I have the product breakdown on the right.
You see by the way that the performance is really good.
And now I can select a product.
And at the bottom, when I select a product,
you see that I have a breakdown by geo.
And finally, let me show you
a last dashboard with
one more level of drill downs.
So I can select a product here in the column chart.
On the right I will have a breakdown by geo--by region.
Now, in that region I have a list of different products
so I can see how the products are performing in these regions,
and finally, I can compare the performance year by year.
So very simple application,
very easy using Flex to build
dashboard applications running on different devices.
So let me very quickly show you
the exact same application running here on an Android tablet.
This is a Samsung Galaxy Tab.
As you can see, it's the exact same app,
so in fact it's the same code base.
You can look at the exact same charts,
and, again, rotate the device.
And as you can see, it performs the exact same way.
It's the exact same application, single-code based, multiple devices.
So this was the second chart,
and the last one we looked at was the three levels of drill down.
Here we go.
So Flex makes it extremely easy to build these applications
running on these three platforms--iOS, Android tablets, but also the BlackBerry Playbook.
So a very simple application.
