Flash vs. HTML5

Jeremy Hatch bio ↓ · February 24th, 2010 · filed under Other

Over on TechCrunch, one of the developers who helped build the Flash platform was asked to speculate about the technical future of web content — essentially, whether he thinks the Flash platform will be made obsolete as HTML5 is adopted.

His response to this question is neither yes nor no, but a lengthy, carefully considered, nuanced view of the entire ecosystem that Flash exists in now — web productivity sites, content sites, and handheld apps — and the article doesn’t seem overly influenced by his connection with Flash. It makes for an interesting read.

This is The Rumpus

The Rumpus.net is an online magazine focused on culture, as opposed to "pop culture." Pop culture can be hard to define and the term means different things to different people. Basically, we're not opposed to things that are popular, but we have no interest in "art" created by marketing executives. And we have no interest in derivative art, like images of famous people made from shoelaces or Star Wars characters in funny wigs. (More on what we're about here, here, and here.)

The Rumpus is not worried about being the first to break the news. We care about good writing, and we'll publish essays just because the writing is good. And we won't run a well crafted meditation alongside an actor's opinion of the war in Iraq. (more)
