The Adobe on AIR bus tour is stopping by the Raleigh area on Saturday, courtesy of TACFUG and RDAUG, and they're having a contest. Best AIR app wins a prize!
Well, my url shortener app may not be the best, but if I'm lucky, it'll be the only app submitted.
I've recompiled the URL shortener app as an AIR app (I built it when it was still called Apollo), and you can get it here:
- AIR Url Installer - AIRUrl.air
Here's the source code:
