Adobe AIR review
- adnam 19y agoI went to a conference recently about AIR and it looks quite interesting. Adobe understands that there is a divide between programmers who make web-based software and programmers who make desktop software and their idea is to bring web-programming techniques to the desktop. For example, you could download an AIR program that gives you a more fluid and responsive front-end to Amazon.com which pre-caches the parts of the catalogue most interesting to you. Could be interesting once the runtime is more widely installed.

- jamesbritt 19y agoFrom the AIR tools page (http://www.adobe.com/products/air/tools/ http://www.adobe.com/products/air/tools/) "Download the software, SDKs, extensions, and frameworks you need to build, package, and deploy Adobe AIR applications in your preferred development environment." Well, that would be Kubuntu. So let's go ... http://get.adobe.com/air/ http://get.adobe.com/air/ "Download the latest version of Adobe AIR A version of Adobe AIR is not available for this configuration." At least actual Web apps are really multi-platform.
