CSS Animations: A Flash Substitute?
Posted by Vincent Ferrari in "Apple Software (OS X)" @ 01:00 PM
"For some time, programmers have used CSS Animation for the mobile version of Safari. The routines allow Web developers to present animated graphics and 3D effects, removing the need for complex JavaScript, according to MacRumors. If Apple succeeds in getting animation included in the CSS standard used by developers, the move could threaten Adobe Flash, which currently is the dominate method for Web animation."
Not much to say on this one, but one comment on Cult of Mac really summed it up rather nicely:
"Cute animations are no substitute for being able to watch the vast majority of video on the web."
I couldn't agree more.
