HTML 5 vs Adobe Flash
February 8, 2010 – 4:15 PM | Comments

HTML 5 vs Adobe Flash

HTML, which stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, is the primary markup language used worldwide by developers to structure the flow of content on websites. HTML consists of several “tags” with branching attributes to help web browsers better understand how to render web pages. The current standard, HTML 4.01, is managed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and has been around since 1999. As the web has grown exponentially since the inception of HTML 4, the W3C is currently in the process of creating the next version of the standards that govern HTML. The next version, HTML 5, contains many upgrades to help meet the needs of the next generation of media rich websites.

Even though HTML 5 is still in draft, many web browsers are beginning to adopt this new technology, and several websites are taking advantage of this early adoption.  Websites such as YouTube, who recently made public a version of their media player that is displayed using HTML 5, rather than the standard Adobe Flash Player. Following YouTube’s move to allow users to opt-in for HTML 5 based features, many people across the Internet are building a case as to why we should immediately trash the Adobe Flash Player and transition over. Sadly though, many of these people simply do not have the understanding of the work involved and the overall limitations from the early adoption of HTML 5 as a media outlet.
