The Adobe® AIR™ Software Development Kit comes with a command-line utility that will let you create a free digital certificate.  Download and unzip the free Adobe AIR SDK . Open a command prompt to the "/ bin " folder in the sdk. Execute the command below which was adapted from the command shown on the Adobe Developer Connection . (Replace the highlighted text with your own values.) adt -certificate -cn YourCommonName 1024-RSA test_cert .pfx YourPassword Now open the "/bin" folder and you should see the file that was generated. Visit the Adobe Developer Connection for more details and how to sign an AIR applicatoin with your digital signature.

I ran across a very interesting program last week. Balsamiq Mockup makes it easy for users to create mockups of web pages or software interfaces.

Adobe® AIR™ is a runtime environment that lets you use your HTML, CSS and JavaScript skills to make desktop applications as well as web applications. You can also use Flex® and Flash®. There is an SDK that comes with a debugger. I tried it out last night and after looking through the readme file and messing around with things, I was able to run a simple calculator that I built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Go to the marketplace to check out other AIR applications .
