Build a personal productivity application with Adobe AIR - Adobe Edge

Posted on Feb 11, 2009

My latest article for the Adobe Edge newsletter went live today. The idea behind this one is that the simplicity of building applications in AIR makes it the perfect tool to build small applications intended to improve your own productivity. It covers some of the differences in approach that you may take when building an application with an audience of one (or few) rather than one for general consumption. I delve into an application I built for myself to help me write my weekly ColdFusion Open Source Update posts that uses the Google Notebook API. Unfortunately, Google announced that they were discontinuing development on Notebook shortly after the article was ready for "print" but the API still exists and they have said they will not be "end-of-life"-ing it in the near future, so the code is still applicable and the topic is still relevant. Please feel free to share your thoughts on the article here.
