I use Mac Leopard,- would like to use Sailwave on my Mac.
I did not follow the previous correspondence on this subject.

Zsolt,

The original message from Colin was

hi, could somebody with an
apple mac and
non-ubuntu linux do a test

          if not installed already

download/install the adobe air runtime:-

          [http://www.adobe.com/products/air/everyone/](http://www.adobe.com/products/air/everyone/)

run this installer which is a little test app i created:-

when run it just shows a windows with “hello world” on it
seems to work on xp, vista, ubuntu so far
gone off python/qt - figued most people would know javascript/php and i
do to - and integrates great with a community website

Kind regards,

Huw

woo. thanks.

the amazing thing is that i created the .air package on windows without
specifying a target OS - the same .air package, created on Windows,
runs on all 3 platforms. awesome! though i suspect we’ll not get away
with that for long - but maybe.

I think Air has a great future. With HTML5 or HTML4+jQuery for example
you can create ‘web’ apps that rival desktop apps as a user
experience. It also means the same code (virtually) could be served up
as a web app as well. All platforms covered by the same code base,
and, that code is probably currently one of the best known -
HTML/CSS/Javascript (and some PHP for some server side services like
uploading elapsed times) - so users will feel familiar straight away
WRT creating plugins. Adobe Air has a fairly rigid ‘sandbox’ security
protocol for obvious reasons but it can handle user generated scripts.
It also means that the sister project - the community website will be
built using the same code and there is a natural way to interface with
twitter and facebook etc both from the community platform and Sailwave
itself.

I blew £50 on python books but am convinced it’s the wrong way to go
now.

I updated my Sailwave blog.
