The shift is to the mobile browser from the desktop. Once you process that and then realize that in the mobile universe WebKit is used on IPhone/IPad devices AND Android which together make up 90% of the smart devices… WebKit is to the mobile browser what M$ hoped IE would be to the desktop. You are right. Flash is going no where on the desktop browser because the desktop browser is going no where. Ultimately there will be more mobile browsers serving up HTML 5 than desktop browsers serving up Flash… way more.

I am too hungry to stop making buggy whips right now. I am not too desperate to keep an eye on what is happening with other technologies, just like when I used to develop in Director, or FileMaker, or Basic, or Pascal…

I don't agree with the analogy at all.

But I do agree that the spec isn't ratified and apparently might not be until closer to 2022? So the argument (not aimed at you Paul) that Flash is dead now and the "open web" of HTML5 is the "way and the light" is false and misleading.

I'd argue against anyone building anything on any platform with Beta, let alone Alpha, heavens no pre-Alpha technologies. That's not planning for the future, that's gambling. It might pay off, or you spend the time to rewrite your app to the spec that won, or at least the spec that is current.

Our point is Flex/Flash pays right now. So those arguing it's death obviously aren't looking for HTML5 work, since 18 jobs is pretty tight competition, LOL.

The HMTL 5 spec is not ratified yet, so it is still "alpha" or maybe even "beta" right now, which will account for the smaller number.

But as with building a new business, keep in mind your goals: work today or prepared for tomorrow. I am sure the buggy whip companies would have made the same arguments you are making.

That's not to say that Flex/Flash will go the way of the buggy whip (that is yet to be determined), but if Flash is not the major platform in 2-4 years, then it would look that way in retrospect. Of course, there are still cobol programmers today…
