11 Adobe AIR allows web developers to use existing technologies to build and deploy rich Internet applications to the desktop. The ABCs of AIR

Always There, Anywhere

Branded Experiences

Convenient Desktop Functionality

Data Access

Efficient Development and Delivery The Web changed business requirements

Applications must be built faster by fewer people Applications must reuse existing infrastructure and assets Applications must be flexible to support changing requirements

…Consumers …Businesses Applications reach browser, desktop, and devices Adobe AIR Features

Rich Applications Broad Reach

Rich media and video Windows/Macintosh/Linux

Custom chrome and transparency Universal application installer

Desktop integration (Drag and drop, On/offline with network detection Background, Notifications, Clipboard) Local file access and embedded database

Designer and Developer Productivity Proven Technology

Existing Applications & Infrastructure

Seamless Install -- deploy applications from a web server Web Launcher -- Invoke applications from the web

Adobe AIR uses auto-update to keep itself current AIR Applications can use an API to manage updates Simplify delivery of patches and updates Enable iterative development and deployment

.air installer contains all application files Application files are cross platform web technologies SWF, HTML, PNG, XML, etc. The same .air file installs Windows, Macintosh, and Linux The installation process creates OS specific executables that allow the AIR application to behave like a native application

Privileges: AIR Applications have full desktop application privileges read/write files, background execution, full network access Administrator can limit application install and other sensitive capabilities

Installation: All applications must be signed by the creator Mandatory, trusted install process

Integrated rendering pipeline Filters Visual effects

Function level invocation across HTML and Flash engines Flash classes can be used directly from JavaScript JavaScript classes can be used directly from Flash

AIRAliases.js Abstracts out “runtime.flash.*” references Can be modified, added to, etc.

Open Source Engine Web class HTML engine with full Ajax support and web compatibility Used in Safari, KHTML Benefits of WebKit Open Source Proven Small Existing Mobile/Device Support

Codec support including H.264 video, AAC audio, VP6, MP3, and Sorenson Hardware acceleration for full-screen video Transparency and effects to video Support for DRM

Window Chrome Use native OS window chrome Use custom chrome implemented by application Transparent Transparent region can choose to receive or pass through mouse clicks Design windows of any shape Enables complete control and branding of user interface The developer can provide custom window controls

Create and delete files and directories Copy and move files and directories List the content of directories Get system information on files and directories Read and write text or binary files Text, XML Video, Audio, Documents Serialize and deserialize ActionScript objects Register to handle files based on file extension Support for Synchronous and Asynchronous operations

SQLite (http://www.sqlite.org) Supports ACID transactions Zero-configuration allowing for embedded solution SQL-92 Complete database is a single file on disk Supports terabyte-sized databases Adobe AIR provides both synchronous and asynchronous access options

Install and Uninstall Task Manager or Process List Application Shortcuts Drag and Drop Clipboard Cross Application communication Notifications

Applications can run in background Applications can register to run at startup or user logon Applications can send user notifications using the system tray, docks, or new windows

Hi-fidelity document rendering Integrated presentation of documents Data Synchronization Uses the installed Adobe Reader 8.1+ to minimize runtime size

Development: Separation of application and non-application content Enhanced HTML security model to limit injection Minimum-privilege and safe-by-default APIs to decrease developer risk Encrypted Local Storage to managing secrets like passwords or PINs
