Lately, I’ve been getting more and more questions about HTML5 and what it means to digital marketers and web developers. I guess the HTML5 vs. Flash debate has cooled in some circles and stayed pretty heated in others.
My POV [and many others, too] is that Flash ain’t going anywhere anytime soon. While Steve Jobs and company have shunned Flash on Apple devices in favor HTML5, there’s no need for panic. It’ll all work out at some point. Meanwhile, here’s a collection of HTML5 info, resources, tools, and just plain cool stuff for you to have a look at while you ponder your place in the HTML5 vs. Flash debate.
