I have been investigating and designing an MP3 download manager built using Flex and delivered as an Adobe AIR app. Its a really interesting area, since desktop application development and web development is finally becoming a relatively easy activity and OS compatibility issues are becoming a thing of the past.

I will share a few helpful articles and my experiences getting the grips with the platform as we go through.
