Adobe AIR | 2-day Training for JavaScript, Flash and Flex Developers

Note:  This post was updated to reflect a change on the Toronto dates (from March to May)

AIR is insanely great!  Brilliant in fact.

If you work with JavaScript, Flash or Flex then this training is for you.

Adobe AIR is a new cross platform runtime.  Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh today (Linux and mobile announced).

The AIR runtime has 100% of the capabilities of Adobe Flash Player 9 
   *PLUS* APIs for interacting with the local operating system (Files, NativeWindow, Clipboard)
   *PLUS* APIs for interacting with an embedded web browser (WebKit, same as Apple Safari)
   *PLUS* APIs for interacting with an embedded SQL database (SQLite)

Flash and Flex developers already enjoy 100% of the capabilities of Adobe Flash Player 9, so all of the "*PLUS*" statements above are what AIR offers new for Flash and Flex developers.

JavaScript developers also enjoy all of the AIR APIs  *PLUS*  also new for JavaScript developers is 100% of the market leading rich media Flash APIs too!  Wow!  See this link for the "JavaScript Language Reference for Adobe AIR":

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:

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!
