Adobe push Flash closer to the Open Web
Adobe are continuing their drive to open up some of their Flash related technologies by opening up the formats, removing licensing restrictions and dropping royalty fees - now being branded as the Open Screen Project.
It will be interesting to see how this plays into the recent discussion about the Open Web but it can’t do the web development community any harm.
Personally I still think that Ajax, when done properly, just feels right within a browser - Flash somehow always feels out of place. There’s certainly no right or wrong technology choice to be made when developing RIAs and Flash/Flex/AIR apps are great for plenty of situations but I’ll be sticking with Ajax for the time being.
