Next week we’re going to be embarking out on the on Air Bus Tour talking to web developers all over the country about Adobe AIR, our cross platform desktop runtime that gives developers the power to build rich internet applications for the desktop with the web skills they already have. The tour itself is shaping up to be a lot of fun and you’ll be able to track us from the tour website. But while we’re on the tour, talking to developers and getting feedback, we wanted a way to share with everyone why we’re all so excited about it, so the on AIR blog was born.

Over the course of the summer and beyond we’re going to be talking about what web developers can do with Adobe AIR and how it’s going to impact the world of Rich Internet Applications. Adobe AIR is aimed at bringing the best of the web to the desktop and augmenting the creativity that’s occurred in the browser by enabling it on the desktop. We’re going to be talking about what kinds of applications are a good fit for Adobe AIR and things to think about as you’re building apps. We’re going to be talking about the conversations we have on the road and how we’re incorporating those into the product. We’ll have reviews, stories and anecdotes from the people we meet and the people on the bus. It should be a great time and I’m looking forward to the conversation.
