I had the pleasure of seeing Adobe's Director of Product Evangelism, Ben Forta, give a Flex 3/AIR presentation in Cary last night. First, I must mention that Ben has the best job title. Hands down. While the Flex 3 and Flex Builder portion of the presentation was very nice, I was there mainly to learn more about AIR.

AIR in one sentence can be described as a cross platform platform for creating desktop apps using HTML, JS, Flex and Flash. It doesn't sound particularly impressive until you view some of the AIR showcase apps. I was most impressed by the Anthropologie e-commerce catalog. I'm definitely looking forward to see what folks do with this technology. AIR looks to deliver "write once, run anyway" applications and it looks good while doing it.
