We are in Denver today for AIR Camp (last stop on the first leg of the tour). The morning sessions have gone well, with Ryan Stewart giving the keynote, and Mike Chambers and Kevin Hoyt showing how to get started with building AIR applications.

We have a couple of last minute changes to the agenda. First, we have added a session for Yahoo (one of the tour partners), who will be showing off some AIR application prototypes that they have been working on.

Second, the night session has been shorted and will end around 7:15 to 7:30. We have been finding that everyone has been hanging around from the day session, and a 12 1/2 hour conference day (as we had in LA) is just too much for everyone. We will be making a similar tweak to the rest of the stops on legs 2 and 3.

You can view the updated Denver agenda here.

One of our partners on the tour is mediatemple. They are providing the hosting for the website, weblogs, APIs and feeds, and have been a huge help in watching and maintaining the server.

However, not only are they helping us out on the site, but they also surprised us with some parting gifts on the bus, including these swank slippers being modeled by the bus’s own Andre Charland.

I just received an email from O’Reilly, one of the partners on the tour, letting us know that they will be providing (what I like to call) the ultimate AIR developer’s book bundle. Here is what they is included:

• Programming Flex 2
• ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook
• Essential ActionScript 3.0
• JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 5E
• Ajax Design Patterns
• CSS: The Definitive Guide, 3E
• HTML and XHTML: The Definitive Guide

We will be giving away 5 of these bundles at all of the events, and will probably provide them to the best developer demos, code, apps at each event (although we are open to any other ideas).

Of course, everyone will receive O’Reilly’s newest Adobe Integrated Runtime Book which is focused on building applications with HTML and JavaScript. Ill post more on that once we “officially” announce the book.
