Back on June 14, 2006 I made my first post on the new Adobe desktop runtime which was known as Apollo at that time. This post was critical of the Macromedia Central and offered hope for those of us in the Flex development world to bring our skills to the desktop.
Since that time, I have been very involved in the development of the Apollo/AIR product. I have written over 70 posts on this blog, created Apollo Central which has now been replaced by AIR Central produced articles for Adobe, written a book for Wrox called Beginning AIR (shipping 3/17/08), and presented on AIR at Max 2007 Chicago.
It seems like it has all come so quickly but looking back, I can see that it has been nearly 2 years! I can only imagine the internal struggles within Adobe to create this new revolutionary product and I would like to offer my congratulations to the AIR team for a job well done.
What’s next? AIR on Linux? AIR on devises? With each port of the runtime to new operating systems, our world as developers will expand and will generally come pain free as the runtime handles 99% of the discrepancies in deployment.
Once again, congrats to all of those who have made AIR 1.0 a real product.
