Comment on New Canvas Examples by deathbycheese

So Canvas is just a container for Javascript, woop-te-doo. And this is supposed to replace Flash? Ha!

I’m all for hand-coding the layout stuff, but this takes all the creativity out of interactive web dev – especially for those who are creative and not geeky.

Comment on HTML5 Boilerplate by Mike N.

From what I’ve read about HTML5 so far, it sounds like it will make my life as a web designer easier in a lot of respects, so I’m all for that! But the fact that there’s not much browser support for it yet makes me reluctant to try to incorporate it into any website right now. It sounds like the Boilerplate tool will help resolve some of those cross-browser issues. I’ll have to check it out.

@Microsoft FanBoy
Can’t tell you *who* is using IE8, but at nearly 18% share (according to w3counter.com), it’s a significant number.

@Dennis:

I am not exactly sure because I am fairly new to JavaScript but I believe if you write your JavaScript in what is know as a “Revealing Module Pattern” you can have public variables and methods and private variables and methods. Anything that is public is what someone will be able to see using any tool. The private methods and variables are hidden and not accessible by the end user and all thats available to them is the public info. I hope this helps you out. The sources for articles is limited but if you Google “Revealing Module Pattern” it might shed some more light. I am currently using this pattern for college right now.

Comment on HTML5 vs Flash – How Does It Affect You? by Darryl

So… Winows 8 has announced that there will be no plugins in Metro mode. That means Flash will die on Windows. Flash just died on mobile. So … why use flash if it will only run on Mac computers?

OK, there is still Adobe Air… but Adobe has to get its act together. They just fired over 700 people. HTML5/Javascript is the new rage right now. Will air end up dead just like Director and Flash?

Any thoughts?

Wow, the game has changed with the announcement that Adobe is no longer supporting development for FLASH for mobile devices or TV…it is focusing on HTML 5 and Adobe AIR apps instead….the news got around the game development community quickly. I think the market penetration of mobile devices like the iPad, iPhone, and iTouch from Apple being a merket leader who doesn’t support FLASH made a true impression on developers whose clients pages were losing views by this audience. Comsider Apple’s leadership history introducing CD ROM’s fiirst in computers, dropping the beige look of computers, introucing the iMAc, iTunes, Quicktime, and Jobs support of Blu Ray at Disney helped set standards in many industries… I think all the above points made about Flash being better then HTML 5 will be mute as Adobe will further develop their tools to bridge this gap. I think as more and more people are seeing web pages thru mobile devices not their laptop or PC, clients want to see their pages on iPad and iPhone or lose this marketspace in reaching their customers. Remember the very valuable lesson about BETA VS VHS, it is not the technology that sets the standard, it is the market.
