The controversy over the use of either technology is a common situation as in religion, politics and sport has lived for many years.
A platform that has generated most controversy is Flash, which he has found large numbers of enemies and defenders in the following lines try to analyze why it generates this controversy and issues in history that have made it one of the best platforms for web development.
A) Flash, animation and opportunistic designers:
Flash was originally a platform for the design of vector animation, so even today as many banner ads are designed in this format, but also its flexibility has led many designers in their effort to be sophisticated animations with high quality images, design content files that generate large heavy presentations and long waiting times by users, which ultimately end up unhappy with the design and not analyze it well with the platform, but this problem is not Flash itself but rather the misuse that give bad professionals.
B) The most popular player:
Later, and thanks to the facilities included in the FLV video format played by Flash Player, Flash became the best platform for publishing video on the Internet, so much so that most sites devoted to the dissemination of video content based on this, as the case of YouTube, who is for me one of the most important player the Flash Player, which currently reaches 99% to 47% difference Quicktime, 76% 60% Java and Silverlight.
C) SEO requires more work, but it can do it:
As for search engine positioning (SEO), Flash has always had to lose, and that is because to position a 100% Flash site, it requires more work that to position sites developed on other platforms, however, persons or companies have extensive experience, are able to position the Flash sites just like any other website.
D) Development of RIA:
The big differentiator that we mention is ActionScript, a programming language that has been growing, and that in its current version provides the ability to develop robust multi-platform applications, thanks to that Flash gives way to become, platform design and animation to RIA development platform and rich web applications, however many skeptics computer programmers, not knowing the current development platform that brings Flash Flex and Air, are disagree and prefer to keep their approach is wrong for Flash for designers.
E) Apple, HTML5 y Flash:
The companies have interests, and of course sir Steve Jobs, who owns the largest store (App Store) applications for mobile (iPhone and iPad) does not serve much the good performance of applications developed in Flash, because if users of its devices could run applications on your browser, no need to buy in its App Store,
Apple also forbids applications have been developed in Adobe Flash in your store, saying it is for certain characteristics, an approach that has been denied testing the new Flash Player Android mobile operating system, yet many fans of the apple has been influenced and have preferred to buy devices that limit their contents, something we consider very logical. In addition, as part of this dispute, Apple has shown their support for HTML5, showing it as a replacement for Flash, relationship quite illogical, since they are different platforms so they should be seen as complementary.
Well, in the software development environment we understand that users are not interested in that platform is developed an application, but only to meet your expectations, that meets your needs and solve their problems, we who always complicate with this situation, we have made our mind about the use of Flash as a platform for web development, now we want to know your opinion, write your comments and tell us what you think about this?
