Adobe AIR Developer Derby

Since Adobe have just released the AIR platform, and since Adobe are keen to get lots of people using AIR as soon as possible, Adobe is running the Adobe AIR Developer Derby.

The competition is to build an application using AIR, and submit it before September 5th.
The prizes are pretty amazing, so I highly suggest you head over and check them out.

The top five entries  all win “The Ultimate Development Environment” featuring, among other things, a Mac Pro with 8 processing cores, 4 gigs of RAM and 1.5 terrabytes of hard disk space.

Aswell as a cool computer, the top entry also wins a $100,000 travel voucher from Adobe
to be used for the travel of their choice.

I’m blown away by amount of money that Adobe is putting into this competition, and I think a lot of people are going to be learning AIR for this one.  I’m build an app to enter into the contest which may slow down my rate of posting over the next little while.  When I get the chance however I’ll blog about some of the new AIR features I’m learning.
