[1:30] Business Class AIR – Rich Desktop Clients for On-Demand Apps (Salesforce.com)
This session will demonstrate how Web services enabled, on-demand
applications are a perfect companion to the new generation of AIR-based
desktop technologies and apps. Combining the ability of salesforce.com’s on
demand platform to build and run sophisticated business applications –
entirely over the Internet and without software – with the rich app
functionality of Flex and AIR, developers can create “business class” AIR
apps that meet the requirements of the enterprise, delivering the innovation
and creativity of the next generation of desktop apps, and can be built and
deployed in record time.

[2:50] Using NativeWindows in Adobe AIR (Chafic Kazoun)
In this session you will receive a solid understanding of the windowing API
capabilities of the Adobe Integrated Runtime starting from the NativeWindow
class all the way up to the Window component. This session covers the
creating, sizing, customizing windows along with developing multi-window
applications.
[3:20] Yahoo and Adobe AIR (Yahoo!)
