| 07-02-09 / 00:57 : Apple WebKit/HTML5 : end of Flash and Gears ? (cjed) |
| With its enhancements in terms of accessibility - new features and performances optimizations (CSS Visual Effects extensions for graphics and HTML5 Javascript database/Application Cache for data storage), the Apple WebKit engine (still fully compliant and hardware accelerated on the iPhone) directly competes with both Adobe AIR/Flex and Google Gears. In both cases Apple uses standards, as it did for video (H264). These standards should be merged in the QuickTime X container... We can read at Macgeneration a very interesting comment/analysis (as usual with oomu) : At the end, Flash has no future, why ? Because ALL flash services are now (or soon) available in the standardized browser : - video and animations ? HTML5 - local database ? HTML5 - sub-processes ? HTML5 Actionscript ? That is javascript (actionscript engine in flash9 was given to mozilla under licence gpl) For vector and animation : canvas dom+svg+javascript. What was previously only available in Flash black box container is now exposed through html, css and javascript combination. - html is the content, - javascript is the programming language, - css is the view style definition. And soon OpenGL will be accessible through DOM/js. All that however lacks some wrapping architecture for mainstream/large scale RDA applications development. But Cappuccino adresses this (dynamic binding, delegation chain, high level code - full DOM abstraction - and reduced code, proven solution), and CP2JavaWS provides the transparent bridge to J2EE SOA services. Web 3.0 is born ! |
