An AIR (AdobeĀ® Integrated Runtime) book for both new programmers of AIR applications and existing AIR programmers, in the familiar "teach yourself in 24 tours-style," who wish to take their skills to a higher level in the creation of engaging desktop experiences for both Windows and Mac platforms (and soon to follow, Linux). Although AIR is a 1.0 release, it has matured quickly and includes new key features such as, leveraging the PDF technology as a tool for AIR development, SQLLite for local data storage, and an enhanced online/offline strategy - all important features and all which are discussed in this book as well as other key AIR APIs. With a healthy adoption rate in the traditional web arena for the AIR technology, and with customizable AIR icons, the creation of the next generation of Rich Desktop Applications is officially under way. AIR applications are vying for a prominent spot on your PC`s desktop. Combining the existing web technologies you already know (Flex, AJAX, HTML/JS, PDF, and others) with the AIR runtime allows the creation of engaging experiences for both Windows and Mac platforms (and soon to follow, Linux) that function even while offline or away from the network.
