Looking at how JavaScript has and its usage has evolved, and also taking in how most JavaScript libraries seem to try to cater for every possible need people might have, I thought it was about time to get back to the basics. To me, that is spelled dLite.
Having developed a few Adobe AIR applications now (Memory, facedesk, GMDesk), and having talked to some people of the Adobe AIR Team, I thought it was time to express my feelings on what it’s like developing with Adobe AIR.
Just as the need I saw to for running Facebook stand-alone with facedesk, the turn has come to Gmail. Let me present GMDesk - run Gmail as a stand-alone application.
When developing applications with Adobe AIR, a vital feature is being able to push application updates to the end users. As it’s quite hard to find complete examples from Adobe, I thought I’d offer you a script how to do it.
With the advanced level of sophistication when it comes to web sites and web applications, there are a number which would suit better as stand-alone applications. Therefore, I’ve created facedesk.
As I’m sure you know, I have a very strong interest in JavaScript, and what better way to try and feed that, than to read a brand new book by Douglas Crockford entitled JavaScript: The Good Parts!
