    “I’ve been hard on Flash, but we should all thank Macromedia/Adobe for 10 years of picking up the slack of the W3C, Microsoft, and Mozilla. And really, how screwed would we be if the WebKit team weren’t so god damn competent?”

    Steve Jobs: Thoughts on Flash

    Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.

    “As I said at the start of this post, I don’t see this as an us and them, Open Web and Flash. I do see HTML5 plugging the areas that have been held up by Flash for the first decade of this century, and there are other areas that HTML5 supports that Flash doesn’t - but Flash could even make use of, such as Offline Applications.”

    HTML5 vs. Flash

    Remy Sharp takes a look at the current state of HTML5, and its potential to replace Flash in web development. After reviewing topics like video, SVG, WebGL, and web fonts, Remy concludes that—though HTML5 will give us incredible tools to replace many Flash instances—it will not replace the platform, especially in genres like gaming.

    Is Canvas the End of Flash?

    An excellent post by Billups Design on the power Canvas brings to HTML5, with a great list of examples like 280 Slides, Bespin, and Mario Kart.

    As both an Flash and standards-based developer, I think there’s a lot of merit to the question. Actionscript 3 is certainly more powerful than Canvas at the moment, but HTML & Javascript-based graphics generation will certainly be easier and better integrated.

    What do you think?
