Comments on: A Decade with Flash http://petitpub.com/blog/2006/08/11/flash-ten-years/ Thoughts on anything on my mind Fri, 21 May 2010 01:54:43 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Petit http://petitpub.com/blog/2006/08/11/flash-ten-years/comment-page-1/#comment-328 Petit Sun, 13 Aug 2006 10:05:41 +0000 http://petitpub.com/blog/2006/08/11/flash-ten-years/#comment-328 Yes, it really sounds like the early days of Java. Here is an OO language to program for all platforms, and a well proliferated framework to make it run everywhere. It comes with a nice presentation layer and it is network aware. The net *is* the computer. My experience with the Flex beta testing made me just a tad cautious though. It was sluggish to say the least, it was complicated and in the end it was very expensive - $10k per CPU. This will change, and I think we can look forward to a bright future for Flash, as the mobile platforms mature, and we all want to reach every service everywhere. Flash enabled mobile phones already crops up on the market. Yes, it really sounds like the early days of Java.

Really that's not a bad idea, since everything is already there: A scripting language, and a nice presentation layer. It almost sounds like Adobe is trying to make Flash the next Java.
