Encrypted Data in Adobe AIR
We all know that apps often store user information on our hard drives, especially to remember login credentials and customized settings. Adobe AIR allows storing this information in encrypted format (AES-CBC 128-bit encryption) for any AIR app.

Another Social Software Client

For the sake of unified microblogging across Twitter, FriendFeed, Jaiku, Pownce and Identi.ca accounts, it is definitely a very simple and straight-forward tool and works well. (Check this vimeo video for a demo.) […]

On AIR Tour
Until recently, I had no idea about this cool workshop that taught Adobe AIR. The on AIR European tour was an eleven city train tour through Europe where people could learn how to bring their web applications to the desktop using Adobe AIR. It was a hands-on experience for registered participants to learn this RIA […]

RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR, released recently after five months of beta testing, is now another gift from Adobe to technical writers.
