Building AIR Applications with HTML, JavaScript and jQuery
Posted on Feb 19, 2010
I recently wrote an article for the February edition of the Adobe Edge newsletter. This is a beginning tutorial covering creating desktop applications in Adobe AIR using HTML, JavaScript and jQuery. I focused on using tools built into Dreamweaver for this although I realize most of the readers of this blog probably use Eclipse-based tools. The audience for this article is intended to be front-end developers who already have HTML and JavaScript skills but with less emphasis on back-end coding (i.e. no ColdFusion in this one - rather I use existing API's). In this audience, I would think Dreamweaver is the dominant tool as opposed to Apatana, so I stuck with what would be comfortable for that group.
If you are looking for a introductory tutorial for building JavaScript-based AIR apps, please check out the article. It also includes some discussion of using the New York Times movie API as a means of highlighting that the Times makes a number of fantastic API's available for free. You can find the article here.
