Flash is the Future?
The other day at work I was flipping through a copy of the latest MX Developers Journal. I started reading an article from the Chief Editor, Charles Brown entitled “Where Are We Going?” The first sentence reads: “As a Web developer, trainer, and conference speaker, the question I am asked most frequently is, “Where is this industry going?” My answer is one simple word: Flash!!!” If that is true, someone please kill me now!
The longer I work with web related technologies the more impressed I am with sites that deliver content and functionality in a clean and simple form. I realize that’s possible with flash but its much more cumbersome than using html and css. I suppose there are plenty of people who would argue otherwise, feel free. As someone who has worked with flash and html quite a bit, I’ll choose html any day.

I would have to agree. I much prefer a clean HTML/CSS design instead of having to wait for the flash page to load while I watch a status bar slowly get up to 100% in a sea of black.
