Adobe AIR 1.0 Released

Adobe announced the release of the Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) on Sunday February 24th.

The AIR runtime lets developers leverage their existing web development skills to build rich Internet applications that can be deployed to the desktop. AIR applications can be written using AJAX (HTML and Javascript), Flex, and Flash technologies.

AIR provides developers with exciting ways to engage their customers with branded desktop applications without requiring developers with typical desktop programming language skills.

Adobe has officially blurred the line between the desktop and web. Web developers who embrace AIR can simply call themselves developers as they will no longer be exclusively developing applications for the Web.

Happy Coding...
