Documentation is the key to success.
That is certainly true when learning a new development language or framework and AIR is no exception. Having a good set of API docs as reference certainly helps. Thankfully Adobe has got better at their documentation over the last few months and I’m glad to say that they are getting easier to find. So before we begin building an application get your hands on the docs and give thema read. No need to memorise eveything because that would be impossible, just get an idea of where you would go for the right information.
