AIR-powered kuler desktop updated

If you’ve never used kuler, you’re missing out. If you’ve never used the AIR application, you’re missing out on an additional way to interact with the color harmony RIA. You can check it out by installing Adobe AIR, then downloading the app. (Hat tip: John Nack)

AIR out of Beta

Filed under Technology on February 25th, 2008 by Chris

Adobe AIRAdobe AIR - (Adobe Integrated Runtime) - is out of beta. It allows developers to create desktop applications using web technologies like Flash, HTML, CSS, etc. Get AIR here.

I’m pretty excited about AIR for a couple of reasons… 1) it allows you to develop rich applications fairly quickly using standard web technologies; 2) it’s less intrusive as Yahoo! Widgets (Konfabulator) and similar “widget” applicatons.
