Why Adobe evangelists stopped writing about AIR and Flex 2 or 3 years ago? Try to figure out tutorials and/or solutions on Flex/AIR. Most of the content indexed by Google and other search engines was published before 2012.
Some of the Adobe Flex evangelists now writes about PhoneGap or another subjects. If it isn't a sign that Adobe is abandoning Flex/AIR, what is it?
