HTML5 vs Flash, Adobe vs Apple

Posted April 29th, 2010 in Blog by Chris

Speaking of which (fast paced, ever changing world of the web), a simple example why we as designers and developers get to claim this ‘on the bleeding edge’ type of rants and raves is the birth of HTML5 and CSS3. Continue Reading »
