HIGHLIGHT
With Adobe AIR—the Adobe Integrated Runtime—web developers use their
existing Flash, Flex, and Ajax skills to build rich, cross-platform desktop
applications. Adobe AIR in Action is a compact, example-driven tutorial that
introduces and illuminates Adobe AIR.
DESCRIPTION
Adobe AIR is one of the hottest topics in rich application development. This
exciting new technology is still in beta, but it’s already being adopted by such
web giants as eBay. With AIR, web developers use their existing skills to build
rich applications that flow seamlessly between the Internet and the desktop.
Adobe AIR in Action introduces AIR to developers familiar with Flex and
JavaScript, showing them how to build solid AIR-driven desktop and hybrid
applications. Using small examples, the expert authors walk web developers
through the new topics they will need to develop AIR applications for the
desktop. Readers will learn the essential features of the AIR API with examples
and code samples that web professionals can use to get up and running in AIR
quickly. The book describes how to create and customize native windows and
how to read and write files and folders on the local file system.
Web developers who read this book will be able to take instant advantage of the
increased resources available to desktop applications. Sometimes-connected,
web-enabled applications are gaining in popularity, and web developers of all
stripes will want to add these skills to their toolbox.
