Adobe AIR, a platform that offers a whole range of benefits


AIR offers an across the board range of benefits to developers and end users alike through a high degree of functionality and efficiency.

The Adobe Integrated Runtime environment (Adobe AIR) works across multiple platforms and helps build Rich Internet Applications with the use of Adobe Flex, Adobe Flash, HTML and even Ajax. One of the biggest benefits of using AIR is that the applications are not constrained by the browser. These can run as desktop applications.

Today, companies are leaving no stone unturned to offer development platforms that are more usable and interactive from the end user’s point of view. The key is to offer benefits that can help users do their jobs better. Applications are not only founded on the various client requirements, but also on the expectations of the end users. The cross-platform run-time environment provided by Adobe AIR is tailor made for developing state-of-the-art applications through a flexible development environment. Adobe AIR also has integrated support for mobile operating systems like iOS, BlackBerry and Android.

Benefits for business

Every business is looking for a seamless business process that is based on cutting edge technology. With the use of Adobe AIR, developers can deliver branded RIA solutions to businesses that help them forge a better connect with their customers. This platform provides secure and stable rich internet applications that can be developed and deployed in quick time. This is of great importance to businesses that are looking for a fast solution to complex problems.

For businesses, RIAs built using Adobe AIR will go a long way in boosting productivity, improving market reach, contribute towards customer retention and satisfaction, and enhance profitability. With Adobe AIR a comprehensive growth driven RIA strategy can be worked out that helps businesses steal a march over its competitors.

Benefits for Developers

Developers who are using Flash Professional and JavaScript can give their development efforts a further fillip with the use of Adobe AIR. An experienced developer who is an expert on the Adobe Flash Player Software can improve upon the Flash experience by developing far more engaging applications then the ones that could be developed with Flash alone. With AIR there is a marked improvement in the look and feel of the application, and each element of the application is designed to capture the attention of the users. The objective of Adobe Air is to offer powerful branded experiences that reach out to more users.

For developers, with proven expertise on JavaScript, Adobe AIR helps widen the scope of their browser applications. The fact that the platform is desktop capable means developers can build the kind of applications that are more responsive and offer more value to end users. Also, armed with a WebKit engine, Adobe AIR helps developers use the same code on the browser, as well as the desktop, which makes for quick development and deployment. What’s more, the delivery of the same code also ensures the stability and reliability of the rich internet application.

Benefits for Everyone

Apart from the specific benefits that Adobe AIR brings to businesses and developers, it also offers a collection of generalized benefits. These include convenience, control, and security. The first and foremost benefit is that it’s very convenient. You don’t need a web browser to run these applications. These web applications can run on your desktop and act as native applications. Also, applications developed with Adobe Air are more secure as every one of these applications has a digital signature. So, before installation, you know who has created this application and whether it’s a safe bet for you or not.
