Hello fellas. As you know, Adobe Flash is loosing its positions as a web engine for last years. Mobile platforms created a new vector of development, which has a different direction with Flash's one. Mobile platforms, pads, Apple empire, nyan html5 and css3 had left for Flash only web games and enterprise areas. The few adventages, which still flash has, are 3d engines and rich enterprise apps legacy.
I am sure Adobe doesn't want to lose it's positions, so I guess they are going to target html-like enterprise area. A couple of days ago they presented HTML and CSS themed website -
As we can see, the whole website is totally size flexible. Adobe definetly wants to cover all types of devices. I think they really disliked Google and Apple rejection of Flash technology, so this really is going to be a war within html area technologies.
I guess Adobe is going to present a new large-scale ultimate framework, which will cover large area of web development, like:
- Mobile development - although a lot of attemts from flash, that is still a huge Adobe's gap
- Cross-browser/cross-device oriented engine - they will definetely leave cross browser orientation feature. What is absent now - they will push tecnology to Apple and Android by using html5+js+css3
- Enterprise sector - or yeah, of course we will have it
- Common web engine - Flash definetely lacks it now. I really can not use Adobe Flash right now for a usual website. They should really make a new engine common-friendly
That's it. Adobe would do this in nearest year or two, or would finally leave web framework arena. This isn't actually clear right now, but what we do know, is... Flash is leaving us. Bye bye old friend.
