Abstract: The present invention provides card-type desktop implementation methods and apparatuses. One method embodiment includes: providing, by a desktop module, a resource address corresponding to a service card for a rendering module; rendering, if an application cache has included a resource file corresponding to the resource address, the resource file to a view corresponding to the service card; otherwise, acquiring, from a server, the resource file corresponding to the resource address, rendering the acquired resource file to the view, and storing the acquired resource file into the application cache. The embodiments of the present invention gets rid of template restrictions and reduces system consumption. A resource file used in rendering is cached using an application cache, and the resource file in the application cache may be used for rendering, thus saving network resources. Further, a service card can be displayed normally without internet.
