An article I wrote entitled Using jQuery to Customize Your Adobe AIR Application has just been published online at Peachpit Press’s Web site.. You can read it at http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1326510. The article shows a handful of practical ways jQuery can be used in an Adobe AIR application, although some of the information covered is much more about jQuery than it is about Adobe AIR (i.e., much of the content is applicable to Web development, too).
