A brief 2010 introduction to Adobe AIR, a cross-platform runtime for building desktop apps using Flash, Flex, or HTML/JavaScript. Covers the basics of creating an app descriptor XML file, running apps with the ADL tool, using amxmlc for AIR-specific compilation, and digitally signing packages for distribution. Also notes significant difficulties running Adobe AIR on 64-bit Linux, especially outside GNOME or KDE environments.
