EmployeeDirectory (Download the AIR Installer)

This application utilized the SQLite embedded database and the network connection event listeners which are part of Apollo.

It also uses Cairngorm for interacting with the remote ColdFusion server for backup and restore functionality.

Upon first run, the local SQLIte database and tables are created.

Attempting to add a new Employee record validates the form

The Employee record passes validation and is saved locally.

Selecting the record from the grid will put form in edit mode.

If the application detects a network connection, the server interaction buttons are available. Clicking Back Up sends the data to a remote ColdFusion server.

While the record is highlighted in the grid, hit the delete button which removes the local record from the SQLite database.

Clicking Restore will prompt the user to overwrite any local data.

The record is retrieved from the remote ColdFusion server and saved back into the local SQLite database.

I spent the past few hours patching errors that occurred when the public beta was launched so the source code is kind of ugly. I will post it as soon as I feel that it is in a clean state.
