HTML5 vs Flash - Developer Perspective

This is my perspective of the HTML5 vs Flash debate, which in all honestly is no debate. Both HTML5 and Flash will work together to push the internet forward. I'm using real-world examples of HTML and Flash, and HTML5 on the iPhone.

Please people, make your own decisions rather than accepting what Apple tells you!

As a Flash/Flex developer this topic is extremely interesting to me. I really appreciate hearing your viewpoints on this!

performance is an argument today, but its not tomorrow when html5 is ready to use

HTML5 is the future, it loads wayyyy so much faster.

@simranzenov2 hi,i get your point but there are a lot of differents images ( background, balls, animations etc) and there is MUSIC and sound effects witch are cpu intensive.

i have made this experiment : yopsolo.fr/wp/2010/11/16/flash­-vs-html5-performance-test/

results may vary from one os to other but flash version is always better ( and it's smooth on my little android htc desire)

Flash / Flex is capable of things way beyond the scope of HTML5. Try creating an HTML5 app with Data Transfer Objects and Sets, application-wide visible variables, mature web service integration. Not going to happen any year soon.

Maybe in the future.. I hope..

What everyone needs to know is why flash is performing not as good as expected on MAC OS Software (pcs, macbooks). It's because APPLE DOES NOT SHARE with ADOBE their API in order to let the FLASH PLAYER BENEFIT of GPU ACCELERATION. Also HTML5 is ruled by who? Opera, Mozilla and... APPLE. How about that? Windows benefits alot from hardware acceleration in flash. You should try the same tests on a Windows machine and you'll see an even bigger difference FAVORING FLASH.

Cheers!
