Graph Visualization Framework d3.js JUNG - Java Universal Network/Graph Framework HTML5 is not ready yet – and will never be (and that is a good thing) – HTML5 Question #1 One of the big questions I repeatedly got at events lately is this: Is HTML5 ready yet? The answer is no, because HTML5 is not a bowl of spaghetti that you know when they are ready by flinging them against the wall. You see, even HTML4.01 or XHTML for that matter was never “ready”. Standard compliance on the web is a means to an end. We used spacer GIFs and for padding and margins before CSS got support, we used tables for layout, we used image maps, we used image replacement, we used HTML generated from JavaScript for different browsers and whatever it took to get the best out of what we had in order to achieve the goal we set ourselves. The goal was always the same: deliver the best possible experience in an unknown, always changing environment. You don’t know what browser in what setting on which operating system with which security settings the end user has. What needs killing is the close-minded limited way we think about web applications. HTML is now a living standard.

The Industry - Thoughts on Flash Since Steve Jobs posted his "Thoughts on Flash" in April 2010, a lot has been talked about with regards to the future of Flash. With Adobe's recent announcement that "Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will be focused on enabling Flash developers to package native apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores. We will no longer continue to develop Flash Player in the browser to work with new mobile device configurations (chipset, browser, OS version, etc.) following the upcoming release of Flash Player 11.1 for Android and BlackBerry PlayBook.", I felt there was one voice we still hadn't heard from, that of the people in the industry who actually have shaped Flash in the last 10+ years and those who will shape the future. I contacted 50 of the top FWA award winning agencies and asked them: Here's what they had to say... Joshua Hirsch, Partner & Minister of Technology, Big Spaceship Petter Westlund, CCO, B-Reel Jared Kroff, Creative Director, RED Interactive Agency Steve Jobs.
Clarifications on Flash Player for Mobile Browsers, the Flash Platform, and the Future of Flash at Mike Chambers I have worked with Flash and been part of the Flash community for about 12 or 13 years (over 10 of those with Macromedia and Adobe). Over that time there have been a lot of ups and down, but I think that the past couple of days have been some of the most difficult of my career. I wanted to make a post which will hopefully clarify some of the news from the past couple of days, and provide some more context around what is going on. <!--more--> First, and foremost, a couple of days ago Adobe announced the following: We are focusing work around the Flash Platform on: Mobile Applications created with Adobe AIR. It is this last point which received the most attention, caused the most confusion, and essentially overshadowed all of the other information. So, please bear with me as this may up being a long post, but I want to talk about the why, as well as discuss what we see as the role of Flash on the web (especially in relation to HTML5). Just to be very clear on this. Adobe AIR Adobe Flex
