This will be the first in, what I hope will be, a long series of Photoshop tutorials. First off, let's take a sneak preview of what we'll be designing...that's it to the right there. I'm using Creative Suite version 4, but most of these steps can be duplicated in older versions of either of these applications. The steps won't have any screenshots because I'll be recording a video that you can use to follow along. Let's go ahead and get started.

Now that AIR tutorials and articles are becoming more and more widespread, and bloggers such as myself are offering complete projects which can be downloaded, I thought it would be a good idea to quickly review the proper way to take an existing project created in Aptana and import it into your Eclipse workspace. Sure you could create a new project on your own, then manually import the files...but that's too much work. Let Aptana work for you. As always, you can watch the video to the right for a quick reference. We'll be importing the project created during my jQuery and AIR: Writing content to the file system via drag and drop blog post. If you're using this project, go ahead and download that, then come back and we'll get started.

In this installment of my jQuery and AIR series we'll be exploring the ability to write content to the file system using AIR's built in file system access. We'll be copying images, and writing JavaScript variables as text files. We'll also be using jQuery UI's draggable and droppable libraries so that we don't have to write that functionality ourselves. First, a preview of what we'll be creating, and then we'll get started.

I'm going to start a new series here, titled jQuery and AIR. The goal is to disseminate as much information about JavaScript powered AIR applications as possible. If you're here, then you're already aware that the lion's share of information about AIR relate directly to Flex. While some of the code can be instructive for JavaScript developers, it's by no means a 1 for 1 translation. I aim to change that. By the way, these example require either Aptana Studio, or the Aptana plugin for Eclipse 3.2 or 3.3, with AIR support. Both of these apps are available for free.
