THIS WRITING OF THIS BOOK has reflected the stormy seas that Adobe has battled in order to release Flash and Adobe AIR for mobile platforms. It started off as an iPhone-based book for Flash developers until Apple infamously changed its terms of use to exclude Packager for iPhone as being a valid way to create iPhone apps. So, we shifted course, transforming the book into an Android-focused book. However, when I was about 80 percent done with the writing, Apple changed its restrictive policy on Packager for iPhone, opening up Flash development once again to the iOS platform. In response, we changed the focus of the book yet again to account for both Android and iOS devices.
On this stormy, but amazing adventure, I was blessed with as good of an editorial team as I have ever had. Major kudos to Sydney Jones Argenta who was project editor. Sydney was diligent, kept me on track, and always kept things positive and forward-thinking. Also thanks to Drew Falkman for his close attention to the technical details as well as many suggestions that improved the quality of the book. Finally, thanks also to Karen Gill for her editing prowess. It was a joy working with this amazing group of editors.
