Adobe Systems Incorporated announced the general availability of Adobe AIR 1.5 software for Linux operating systems. Adobe AIR 1.5, a key component of the Adobe Flash Platform, enables Web developers to use HTML, JavaScript, ActionScript and the free, open source Flex framework to deliver Web applications outside the browser.
Now, developers can use Adobe AIR 1.5 technology to create compelling software applications that are available on Linux, in addition to the Windows and Mac operating systems.
Companies, such as DIRECTV, FOX News and The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., who are using Adobe AIR to deliver uniquely branded experiences, high-definition video and other rich content outside the browser, can be sure their AIR applications will reach the most users across all major operating systems.
Adobe AIR is a key element of the Adobe Flash Platform, a complete system of integrated tools, frameworks, clients and servers to develop Web applications, content and video that runs consistently across operating systems and devices.
