07.07Should we start learning Javascript once again?
Hi Everyone,
with HTML 5 being adopted by more and more browsers out there, with DailyMotion releasing an HTML5 version of the movie profile page, and YouTube doing the same; there comes a question: should I get back to learning Javascript?
The posts on the subject abound all over the internet:
HTML 5 versus Flash / Flex
Adobe was heard saying:
It might be a decade before HTML 5 sees standardization across the number of browsers that are going to be out there (…)
Right.. I think it will take 2 years. I think in 2 years, you better get really good with the Google Web Toolkit if you want to be on the cutting edge. Otherwise, you can wait 4-5 years. And who will save our jobs: Microsoft. By being the shittiest browser out there, Internet Explorer will help keep the value of actionscript knowledge high for atleast another 2 years.
That is my take. What is yours?
Martin

Salut Martin,
durant ta formation, tu disais que tu n’avais pas trouver de manière d’embedder les glyphes particuliers avec les fonts. Il est possible maintenant avec Flash CS 4 (j’imagine que tu dois le savoir… , au cas où que non voilà) : http://gotoandlearn.com/play?id=102
Sinon, il est possible de le faire avec Adobe CS3, mais en exportant un swf avec Flex le script ci-dessous, et en de le télécharger de la même manière que quand tu load un swf avec la font.
public class MesFonts extends Sprite {
[Embed(
systemFont='Tahoma',
fontName="mafont",
mimeType='application/x-font',
fontStyle="italic",
unicodeRange="U+0041-U+0048" // la ou les plages de caracteres
)
]
public static var fontItalic:Class;
}
Voilà !

HTML5 is picking up steam quick, but I think it will be a while before it is doing some of the more advanced Flash features. On top of that, there’s the whole Safari vs Firefox interpretation of HTML5 video: Mozilla is using the open source codec and Apple is using the h264 flavor. the browser independent nature of Flash will help keep it afloat for some time
