I was just chatting with Sébastien about desktop applications in Java and how to build a decent architecture, MVC like (or rather MVP to please him and Martin Fowler)
When he told me this:
now you’ve got AIR and Flex. AIR is the new desktop !
AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR
That’s the moment, it hits me… Adobe AIR could be some subtle palindrome… for RIA ! And in a certain, I find this name quite appropriate. And even if Air is not exactly a Rich Internet Application framework, it could definitely be a Rich Integrated Application one.
