Prerequisites

What does a developer need to know to start building AIR applications? Either HTML and JavaScript, Flash, or Flex. Content written with any of these common everyday web technologies can be easily deployed as desktop applications. However, this book is focused primarily on building AIR applications using Flex content. You will find some information relevant to building AIR applications with HTML/JavaScript scattered throughout the book, but that is not the primary focus.
