What is Adobe Air? I saw how many people talked about it, and I even saw applications for it, but I'm still not quite sure what makes it unique or how it differs from other languages. Can someone please give me a short version from a programmer’s point of view?
Edit: I was not familiar with Flex, so I found this nice explanation: http://www.onflex.org/ted/2008/01/what-is-flex.php
In a nutshell.
Start by assuming that you know what Flex and Actionscript are. Then keep in mind that both of them work exclusively in your browser and for all purposes and purposes are designed to create web applications.
