Adobe AIR is a great program that was released at the end of February. AIR stands for Adobe Integrated Runtime and is a very versatile runtime environment that uses Flash, Flex, HTML and Ajax. Because it is compatible with four programming languages, there are many great looking programs for it and most of them are cross platform, so they'll work with Windows, OS X and Linux! Today I'll show you the ones that are the most useful. Click the programs picture to go the the publishers website.
