Breakout of the Browser and Security Sandboxes Now! | For Javascript and/or Flash and/or Flex Developers and Designers | Adobe AIR Training | Sign Up and Learn About AIR Now

Do you work with Javascript OR Flash OR Flex?  Now you can use 100% of your existing skills and create standalone applications!  We will train you on the Adobe AIR APIs which give you the power to create apps you could only have dreamed about before! 

Adobe AIR gives Javascript OR Flash OR Flex developers great new APIs. Adobe AIR enables you (and your applications) to break out of the browser and out of the security sandboxes enforced by browsers and the Flash Player.

AIR apps are easy to make, deploy and bring to market.  They are cross-platform:  Windows and Mac today (Linux and mobile announced).  Truly write once and run everywhere!  And all using 100% of your existing skills programming with Javascript OR Flash OR Flex!

And Javascript teams especially stand to gain by getting direct access to 100% of the Flash APIs!

We are proud to announce that we are among the first to be offering Adobe AIR training.  Following are our first two North American dates:

• West Coast:  Las Vegas, April 26 & 27 (Sat/Sun)
  http://www.richmediainstitute.com/training/air_lasvegas/
• East Coast:  Toronto, May 6 & 7 (Tue/Wed)
  http://richmediainstitute.com/training/air_toronto/

The training sessions above are unique in that they cover all three authoring options for Adobe AIR:  Flex, Flash and HTML/AJAX/Javascript.  If you work with any of these technologies then this training is for you.  Please forward this link to all who you think might be interested.

In addition to the sessions listed above, we also offer Adobe official training courses, one specific to using Flex to build AIR apps, and the other HTML/AJAX/Javascript.  (Custom and private onsite classes are available upon request.)

The core power of Adobe AIR are:

• allowing organizations and developers to use their core competencies with web development technologies (Flex, Flash and HTML/AJAX/Javascript), to develop stand-alone desktop applications too.
• simplifies cross-platform development by requiring development for single target runtime.
• total branding and possibilities for increased customer affinity.
• robust APIs for network aware applications, graphics, file reference, embedded SQL data, and more!
