Session Detail

We’re going to have a look into the architecture of the AIR runtime and will then build our first application. Moving on from the “HelloWorld”, we’re going to discover topics like the SQL API in AIR that enables your application to store data locally, the File and Network APIs and the various deployment options. Security of AIR applications will be a topic as well as bringing together the Flash/Flex side of developing for AIR with HTML/JS/AJAX. We'll look into different ways of integrating JS frameworks in AIR as well as tooling and development IDE options.

This will be a hands-on workshop, Make sure you bring you laptop to make most of the code examples and walkthroughs. The workshop will focus on AIR for HTML/JS and AJAX developers, although part of it would be useful for developers who want to tackle AIR with a Flash/Flex point of view.
