HTML5, Flash, and Apple…
I’d like to start this blog entry off with a disclaimer: I am not a programming guru. So with that in mind bear with me as I take you on a short overview of my thoughts on the future of HTML5, Flash and Apple. Flash is often thought to be buggy (hence the decision for Apple to not support it). But with the advent of HTML5 on the way, one must wonder what the future of Flash will be. HTML5 can now be defined as the new standard of the web. Flash, which seemed to be the key to viewing the majority of multimedia based web content seems to be kicked to the curb. A multi-million dollar gaming industry has been built from the ground up based around Flash as the foundation, so without the use of Flash what could this mean to all of the gamers? Flash may still be the default platform for gamers, however HTML5 could (likely will) give Flash a run for the money. Although HTML5 will take some time to build momentum to reach where Flash is today.
