Driving a Hybrid: The Basics of Adobe AIR
Plaster Student Union 317
Adobe AIR is a runtime environment for rich internet applications that can be deployed on the desktop. AIR applications run on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, and are a hybrid between Web-based applications that run in a Web browser, and traditional desktop applications. Developers create AIR applications using existing Web technologies such as HTML, CSS, Javascript, Flash or Flex. AIR then packages the application in such a way that allows it to run on the desktop.
In this presentation, we will discuss: 1. the anatomy of a simple Adobe AIR application; 2. strengths and limitations of AIR; and 3. how AIR can be used with HTML and Ajax.
