Yesterday’s post looked at how Ext JS were using AIR for their library documentation. Today, it’s back to documentation about AIR.
Adobe and O’Reilly have released the AIR For JavaScript Developers Pocket Guide
It’s free and 204 pages of great material useful for all levels of developers. If you know nothing about AIR, it’ll get you started, [...]
I was wondering how long it would be before someone did this.
Ext JS have released the documentation for the latest version (Ext JS 2.1) of their JavaScript library as an Adobe AIR download.
This makes a lot of sense and illustrates some of the great strengths of AIR.
All of the Ext JS documentation is already [...]
What could be better on a Friday afternoon that an dose of regular expressions. Anything I hear you cry. Well of course you’re right, but once you’ve mastered them, regular expressions can save you a lot of time and add power functionality to your applications.
Learn Regular Expressions By Experimenting
RegExr is an excellent tool not only [...]
One of the great things about developing Adobe AIR applications is that they install very easily and when you need to update them, the AIR runtime handles most of the heavy lifting for you via the Updater API. Also, if the application requires an newer version of the runtime, it will download and install that [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Today’s Adobe AIR application is Doomi. I chose this example as it shows you what can be done with a custom chrome settings in AIR. In fact Doomi uses no chrome at all. Ordinarily, the complete absence of chrome can make an application very annoying to use and most developers opt for a custom chrome [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )The second AIR application we’ll be looking at this week is Snippley created by .
I’ve chosen this as it’s aimed at developers in two senses. First of all, Snippley is used for storing and organising code snippets and secondly the source code is available which makes it an excellent candidate for deconstructing and learning more [...]
My vision is blurred having watched people present thousands of lines of JavaScript at the Adobe AIR on Tour in Brussels today. Too much code, not enough strategic overview for me but an enjoyable day nonetheless.
The top highlights were:
1. the venue. Super cool video walls.
2. Dion Almaer of Google/Ajaxian giving a(n unannounced) strategic overview of [...]
Shifd.com (pronounced Shift) is a very simple, very useful web application that arose out of a 24 hour coding competition and which is going to be very successful.
It’s a web application, it’s a browser toolbar plugin, it’s a mobile application and, via AIR, it’s a desktop app as well. Originally it was hooked up to [...]
I’m going to be running another Adobe AIR week on the the blog this week.
Since AIR came out of Beta, some really great apps have emerged and some of the early applications have matured. The Alpha version for Linux is out offering true cross platform applications and version 1.1 is in the pipeline.
Each day I’ll [...]
Anyone out there going to the Brussels meeting of the Adobe on AIR Tour on the 7th of April?
It’s sold out now but they sometimes have a reserve list.

Drop your name into the comments and I’ll look out for you.
Back in January I wrote a series of articles about Adobe AIR, which at the time was still in Beta. Now that Adobe AIR has been officially released as version 1.0 I though I’d have another go a explaining what AIR actually is by translating Adobe’s definition into plain English.
You can read the original article [...]
I’ve been putting together an article about why web browsers are so important for publication on another web site and it’s really made me think about the implications of AIR for the web.
The web is all about content, right? And to access the content we need to start somewhere. A search engine, a bookmark, a [...]
Yesterday’s post about where to start when building AIR applications brought a couple of other AIR sites to light that I thought I’d mention.
Both sites are repositories for AIR applications where you can check out what other people are building and add you’re own applications once you get started.
AIR Apps Wiki
airapps.pbwiki.com
Adobe AIR Marketplace
Don’t be fooled [...]
So you’ve read parts 1 and 2 of this series (What Is Adobe AIR and Some Great Adobe AIR Applications. Already!) and now you’re ready to dive head first into making an AIR application.
This quick reference isn’t a tutorial, it provides you with a complete tool kit of the things you’ll need to start your [...]
Following on from yesterday’s post, What Is Adobe AIR, today I’m going to take a look at some Adobe AIR Applications.
There’s a lot being written at the moment about how to create applications with AIR, but there’s not so much being said about what applications are being built and which ones stand out from the [...]
