2007-11-06 09:24 The (not so) hidden goals of Prism, AIR and Silverlight
The Prism project (formerly WebRunner [1 ] has recently been announced by Mozilla Labs. In this announcement, a sentence has been ruffling a few feathers at Adobe and Microsoft (emphasis mine): Unlike Adobe AIR and Microsoft Silverlight, we re not building a proprietary platform to replace the web. We think the web is a powerful and open platform for this sort of innovation, so our goal is to identify and facilitate the development of enhancements that bring the advantages of desktop apps to the …

2007-09-04 01:01 What about Sun embracing JavaScript
As a followup to my post about Java yesterday, I wanted to throw out some quick observations about JavaScript and where I think it might be able to help Sun revive the interest in Java as a cutting edge platform. I say "observations" because I haven't really come up with a hard-and-fast conclusion about what all this stuff means in the big picture, but I think the following points to something pretty interesting: * Sun actually owns the trademark to the name JavaScript. Despite the fact that it …

2007-09-02 01:19 Adobe AIR: 10 reasons to love it, 10 reasons to hate it.
I attended two days of briefings on Adobe's developer-focused products, especially the forthcoming AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime). In essence, AIR is the Flash player supplemented by additional features to enable applications that are not browser-hosted, but installed as desktop applications. AIR is great for some scenarios, weak for others. Here's 10 reasons to love it: 1. Fast execution. ActionScript 3.0 has a JIT (just-in-time) compiler, putting it on a par with Java or .NET for raw performan …

2007-07-12 01:24 Adobe OnAir Seattle
I went to Adobe's OnAir Seattle yesterday, which was a really interesting event that I'd recommend attending if you have the time. Unfortunately, I had to leave before the end of the day, but here's a summary of the notes I took while I was there. The Big Picture Adobe's goal is to let web developers can use their existing skills ( HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Flash, and Flex) to create desktop applications. AIR (formerly Apollo) provides cross-platform installation and application updates, a local da …

So I guess I'm just becoming an Adobe AIR fanboy. I don't really mind because unlike many forms of fandom, you actually get something in return for your efforts. This site is a blog that will fill you in on what is going on in the world of Adobe AIR. If you can throw together a web page, and can download Aptana you can build cross platform applications.
