Building the back-end of the Tour of California “Tour Tracker” using Flex Data Services
If you hadn’t heard about it, the Tour of California ended on Sunday. To allow cycling enthusiasts around the world to follow the race in real time, the Experience Design (XD) team at Adobe built the “Tour Tracker”, an inspiring application built with Flex (in four weeks) and combining live video streaming, real time GPS tracking, commentary, race statistics, and geo-positioned photos and video clips uploaded during the course of each stage.
The “Tour Tracker” has been blogged about in many other places, but since I (was?) volunteered to build the back-end of the application using FDS, I figured I would share some details about the experience.
