AIR Linux Alpha Available

March 30th, 2008 by Ryan Stewart

We just released a public version of AIR on Linux as well as the tooling in Flex Builder for Linux to create AIR applications. Adobe really wants to provide full support on Linux for our RIA technologies. We’d love to hear what you think so please submit feedback and help us make the Linux release really fantastic.

    One significant step for Adobe which will expand its desktop dominance, and one big step for Linux, as the platform continues to grow its user base every year without exception. Great news, indeed!

    This is solid Alpha territory, since nobody at Adobe realized they were hijacking a file extension for OpenOffice.org. Doesn’t anybody on the team actually *use* linux? What a mess… don’t install this on a machine you need to use, folks.

    Please continue to develop AIR for linux as I really see the strong potential for using AIR as a powerful tool to develop experience based applications that span into the linux realm.

    We are especially look at developing with AIR to create a rich GUI component that controls and interfaces with a Java controller using XML. We really need a well developed version of AIR in order to be serious about this, so I really hope that Adobe will invest serious interest and effort in the linux version, to make it a more complete cross-platform “package”.

    AIR might not be perfect for all things now or in the future, but for User Experience in user interfaces and interaction, which is what I am particularly interested in, AIR shows strong potential and linux applications’ user experience (especially embedded/integrated linux applications) could be greatly revolutionized.
