I am writng this entry using a desktop blog editor called “Bee”.  Bee is a sample AIR application from Adobe labs. So far I really like what I see in the “about to be released” Flex 3.  The big news I assume is the introuction of AIR  (Check out the cool video).  So the same application development  environment you use to build flash apps fo rthe web can be used to build desktop apps outside the borwser. Nice.   I’m not sure if Flex (mxml and actionsscript 3) counts as a “4gl” or even “5gl” lanuage environment (so who’s counting anyway?) but it feels very state of the art to me. I like it.  By the way the way there is a reasoable FAQ for AIR here.   (Alas, I fear there is no spell checker is the Bee thing…) Ok here we go posting…
