On Coding in Paradise today, Brad has posted a new item in an effort to help clear up some of the misconceptions people are having about AMASS.
I want to clear up a few points about AMASS, the Ajax MAssive Storage System, that I've seen around the blogosphere:
- AMASS can store much more than 100K, up to megabytes of information.
- AMASS is not a security threat.
- AMASS, by itself, does not make offline access possible.
- AMASS is in alpha, so expect bugs :)
- I need help on making AMASS work on Firefox for the Mac!
- AMASS does not uses the Flash JavaScript Integration kit; I built an early prototype of AMASS using that framework
- AMASS uses features that have been in Flash since the Flash Plugin Version 6; over 95% of the installed PC base on the Internet have the Flash features necessary to support AMASS
He gets into a bit more detail on each one of these, so if there's one that you don't quite understand, be sure to read up on it. |
