Announcing Adobe AIR in Action
For a while now I’ve been spending my spare time writing about AIR for an upcoming book titled “Adobe AIR in Action” published by Manning.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with three very talented co-authors, Joey Lott, Sam Ahn, and Kathryn Rotondo. I’m psyched about the release since I think we’ve put together a very solid guide to Adobe AIR from a Flash and Flex perspective, and we’ve come up with some great examples that utilize each individual aspect of the new API.
My chapters are centered around utilizing databases in your AIR application, including some primers on SQL, and integrating HTML and JS content into your app.
The book will be released in a few months, but if you can’t wait that long, you can actually read chapters in their ‘uncut’ format in Manning’s Early Access Program. You can also pre-order the book on Amazon, here.
Congrats Ash! Look forward to reading it… That is you on the cover, is it not?
Hi Ash,

Cheers,

Product Manager, Adobe AIR

Well done and all that gubbins - but wait! whats this? Amazon UK, doesn’t seem to list all the authors! Who could they have left off? Joey’s there…. Sams there…Oooh theres Kathryn too…..hmmm who have they left off? Good to see the age old British tradition of damning our own, thriving away!
