The Future of Flash

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the next-gen-of-shiny dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Adobe is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Flash, and News.com has an article looking at the company's plans for the future of the technology. No longer just a choice for 'innovative' web designers, Adobe is positioning Flash as an application development platform, with special emphasis on video delivery and mobile device applications." From the article: "On Tuesday, the company intends to launch a microsite showing the evolution of Flash over the past 10 years, including video interviews with developers. Those videos will no doubt be played with the Flash Video Player, something many high-profile Web sites, including YouTube, have chosen to use as well. The success of Flash in the next 10 years rides largely on whether leading-edge customers like YouTube will design their Web sites with Flash, Lynch said. Adobe, which gained the Flash technology when it bought Macromedia, is trying to build an 'ecosystem' of developers and partners, he said. "

    For exactly some of the reasons you mention, I block Flash. The only 'tard here is you.

    You are the kind of fetishists that have a stencil on the back of your Classic Linux PPC showing a badly drawn Calvin pissing all over Wintel logos. Use the language/platform/vibrator you like best and promote its greatness by doing something with it that no one else can.
