Practice and Prepare November 30, 2008

1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The competition of application development frameworks is the bane of those of us who have to figure out how to explain inherent potentials to managers tasked with getting new apps out the door. No one knows the future -- but Adobe's Integrated Runtime (AIR) is certainly on everyone's list as a strong contender.
This book has a cookbook format which means it is full of examples that focus on the scenarios that will most likely provoke head-scratching and Googling by programmers tackling basic and not so basic tasks in AIR development. This book is for intermediate developers who already have a good working knowledge of the Flex tool and ActionScript or JavaScript.
Chapters 1-2 impart basic dev environment setup tips.
Chapters 3-15 provide solutions for file system, network, and database scenarios.
Chapters 16-17 focus on distribution and install issues.
There is also a bonus chapter which is online at the O'Reilly publisher site. This bonus chapter does a bit of AIR mashup to integrate some of the individual solutions found in the book.
This is a solid book for keeping up with the times.
