On AIR Tour Europe Almost Sold Out

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

We’re doing the final leg of the on AIR Tour Europe in a couple of weeks and so far registration has been great and there are a couple of cities that are sold out but we still have slots in a few of them. If you’re interested in checking out AIR, talking to us about feature requests, and want a free copy of the AIR for JavaScript Developers pocket guide to take home, head over and register.

With today’s release of Flash Player 10, there are a ton of new features that will eventually be making their way into AIR. The tour is a great way to get a head start and chat with the teams about what you want to see in future versions of AIR. I’m also hoping to see some really cool Flash Player 10 demos from the community. Hopefully we can show some off on stage.

Interview with Jeremy Baines from AlertThingy

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

During our on AIR London event I sat down with Jeremy Baines from Howard/Baines to talk about their AIR application for FriendFeed, AlertThingy. They had no AIR experience before they started and it’s a pure HTML/JavaScript application so he has some good insight on getting started with the platform.

Of course since that time we’ve seen Twhirl, another AIR application, be purchased by Seesmic and add support for FriendFeed as well. AIR is all over the place.
