Future of Flash is not flashy

Adobe Flash is a software used to create animation and interactive components, that can be inserted on webpages quite easily. It surely adds animation, jazz and help make webpages eye-candy. But it the case when web browser was the only way to connect to and access internet. Now with increase in mobile devices and wireless internet availability, mobile web browsers and mobile applications are used increasingly. The market dominant Apple doesn’t support Flash either in iPhone or recently launched iPad.

Besides, lack of support from major vendors, Flash has its own set of problems as fas as web development goes. It’s lack of search engine friendliness, complicated maintenance, Requirement of Flash Player (a software application which must be installed and with the recent version in order to run all Flash Snippets) are just few to mention.

So, What’s future of Flash? Flash will continue to be used in creating animations, games, video streaming etc… Though, latest HTML5 and CSS3 web standards have created alternates to Flash in  Video Streaming as well as in online Gaming, Flash still be used in gaming and in video  streaming but its market share will reduce. Future of Flash is not flashy!

We at wabuwa, always emphasize on creating and developing web-standard based designs. The latest HTML5 and CSS3 web standards are widely used in development of some of our recent projects. We just do it because we give second  importance to web standards just after to client requirements.
