Awesome list.
Very nice list. I don’t think I’ve seen anything so extensive on Adobe AIR. Congrats on the Delicious front page and good luck with Digg.
Thanks for kind words, Steven. I put together the links half because I’m researching the AIR platform and half so I have them in one place.
I hope others find value in it as well.
Although not explicitly AIR focused, most of the content we cover on The Flex Show podcast also relates to AIR and Flex.

Hi Jeffry, I added your podcast under “Resources”. Also, I subscribed to the podcast. Looks like you guys cover a bunch stuff that is right up my alley.
Hello Jason,
Very good collection of AIR related links.
Appreciate the hard work in collecting it and sharing with all of us.
