Flash vs HTML 5 - The Future of the Web February 18, 2010

Flash vs HTML 5 – be a part of a fun, spirited debate at the next Columbia Adobe User Group!

The recent announcement of the iPad from Apple has once again stirred a long-standing debate among web developers about the importance of web standards versus the use of browser plugins like Flash, Silverlight or Java to deliver rich content. Some argue that HTML5 and CSS3 will soon replace the need for plugins to deliver video and rich media experiences, while others argue that these standards are so far from widespread adoption that they are nearly irrelevant. The truth is that the issue is not so black and white.

Come meet up with the Columbia Adobe User Group on Thursday, February 18 for an in-depth discussion of web standards, what the “open” web really means, and where Adobe and Flash technologies will fit into the future of the Web. Hear from experts on both sides of the issue in a moderated discussion, followed by honest, real-world answers to your questions about the most effective ways to deliver your content.
