#Adobe air download mac os x for mac#
There is a runtime for Mac and for Windows, and I'm certain that if the Linux community gets pushing, there will be one for them as well.Ħ) Not only that, but Aptana has plug-ins that allow you to develop HTML/Javascript based AIR apps, for free, at the moment. Branding can come later the hardest part is getting developers interested in using the tools.ĥ) AIR is cross-platform. apps that update when you're connected, but are still usable (in a limited sense, like composing email using Mail offline) when you're not.Ĥ) The fact that Adobe has put more effort into bringing this technology out in a beta form shows more interest in creating a grassroots community.

You're not limited to the script libraries that Adobe provides, either. And, yes, this means that you now have access to desktop-side faculties, such as the filesystem.Ģ) One chief difference between AIR and other dev tools is that you can use a mixture of HTML, XML, Javascript, Actionscript, Flex, etc.
That is, you write content for AIR, compile it, and then people can download it and run it like a regular desktop application. For those of you too busy to do more than make snide comments about a product you haven't bothered reading even the simplest introductory article on (many readily available from Adobe's wiki), I thought I'd take a few minutes out of my own busy schedule:ġ) AIR (formerly "Apollo") is to the desktop what Flash Player is to the web browser.
