Balaji reviewed Adobe AIR for JavaScript Developers Pocket Guide by Mike Chambers, Daniel Dura, Kevin Hoyt and Dragos Georgita and gave it 8 out of 10 horseshoes.

If you are a beginner and don’t know anything about AIR, then this book is the best bet. ... The authors have given lots of code snippets while explaining a topic instead of lots of theoretical text. ... The most interesting part in this book is the “Mini cookbook”. [It] contains worked out samples with complete code explanation that can help you understand (from AIR perspective) Application Chrome, Windowing, File API, File Pickers, Service and Server Monitoring, Online/Offline, Drag-and-Drop, Embedded Database, Command-Line Arguments, Networking, Sound.
