Well, here it is, my first Adobe AIR application from Flash.

Playing with Air…
I thought i’d do a little bit of serious work with Air – how about an application for converting text file formats? Well ok, it sounds boring, but it’s a starting point. I’m not finished yet, but my deadline is pretty harsh (Wednesday, in fact!) so I’m hoping to have another update tomorrow, once I’ve ironed out a few remaining bugs (and removed the chance that the application will corrupt your files!)

Adobe on AIR comes to London…
Well, I know this is a bit behind the official announcement, but the Adobe on AIR tour (that went across the US a little while ago) is soon to begin it’s European leg, stopping in 12 European cities. I’m signed up for it, and should be attending the one in London, on the 9th April.
I’ve never been to something like this before, so it should be fun.
One week get to grips with Adobe AIR…
“James!” they say, “you’ve been dying to play with Flex and Air. Make us an application to accompany our E-Newsletter!” How could I refuse?
“You have until friday.”
So that’s what I’ve been doing.
I have unfortunately, no previous experience with Flex, Air or even ActionScript 3, so this is proving to be interesting. Marketing has settled on producing an RSS reader – stay tuned and I’ll let you know how things turn out in couple o’ days.
Apollo takes to the .air
Much like the Spartan king from that movie 300, Apollo has obviously spent its time in the alpha version wilderness, and has returned to take on its new name. All praise “AIR”. (Adobe Integrated Runtime)
Seriously though, I’m not sure that it returned wrapped in the skin of a dead wolf (or a dead Silverlight) but it certainly piqued the industries’ interest. Time will tell, as always, whether the stir it caused actually forced Microsoft into announcing features they hadn’t planned for, or wether the race is truely still on.
Anyway, enough mystical-sounding crap. What’s this all about then?
Buy my book!
