I’ve recently deployed my first application written in Adobe AIR 2. It’s a nifty piece of software written specifically for the needs of a local bakery to help them manage daily orders, especially during holiday seasons.

Even though AIR 2 is still in Beta, I decided to use it for this project as it has a large range of new features I wanted to use, like the detection of mass storage devices, which I use for a “smart” backup function that automatically runs a database backup if an authorized USB memory stick is connected.

Printing with Adobe Air still sucks though, which is why I’ve used the native code integration to properly do this.
