FITC 2008 Workshop Day: AIR Development

Today its starts, the FITC. I decided to go for the AIR development workshop from Samuel.
He has done some amazing stuff in AIR, a project named Saffron. An extensible UML diagramming tool.
His way of presenting is badass, funny and inspiring. After being two hours late, that got filed by Ralph Hauwert with a demo and talk of PaperVision3D, we start up Flex Builder and hack away.

After getting a little introduction into the AIR API we start with the examples. We go through different classes in the API with special attention to

Windowing API
FileSystem Class
Clipboard Class

Learned alot(!) at this workshop, got all my questions anwered, plus more.
Have you noticed that AIR backwards spells RIA? Interesting :)
First day well spend.

Please consider to buying me a coffee.
