The Adobe AIR bus tour pulled into Dallas last night and landed at the Angelika Theater and a good time was had by all!

The Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR), previously referred to by its code-name of "Apollo", is a cross-operating system runtime that allows web developers to leverage their existing web development skills (such as Flash, Flex, HTML and JavaScript) to build and deploy web applications and content to the desktop.

Currently in public beta, it has a rich set of features, with support for building both HTML, and Flash based applications.

DFWAUG had a table generously set aside for us by Adobe. Some local celebrities stopped by; Jonathan Bowman from Adobe in Dallas, A.J. Wood from Media Cats and J Schuh, President of The Guild all stopped by to say hello! Many of our members also came by, helped out, and had a great time.

Adobe rolled out the red carpet and had food, snacks, beverages, video games, and goody bags for all the attendees. Unfortunately, one of the stars of the tour - the Bus - couldn't make it. Because of the Angelika's location they weren't allowed to park it out front.

There is a big wave of technology rolling out from Adobe these days and AIR really leads the way.

Check out pictures from the tour here.

If you didn't make it out for this I'm sorry you missed it!
