“We’re Going to Try To Make the Best Tools in the World for HTML5″
Kevin Lynch had a Q&A With Brady Forest today at Web 2.0 Expo and addressed a lot of topics including HTML5. As an Adobe employee, I’m kind of excited about what we’ll be able to do with HTML5. Who knows more about drawing APIs and interactive web content than Adobe? Now that HTML5 has started to coalesce a little bit, I think you’ll see us bring a lot of that knowledge to bear as we do build tools that target HTML5. You’ll see some of the early thoughts around that on our Design and Web blog so if you’re interested in that, I encourage you to subscribe.
But just as HTML5 evolves, Flash is going to evolve as well and there are a lot of cool plans for the next generation of the Flash Platform. I think it’s a pretty exciting time to be a web developer no matter which technology you choose.

What are the high-level differences between Adobe’s HTML5 tools and Adobe’s Flash tools?
Which developer use-cases will ultimately work better with the Flash frameworks compared to the HTML5 frameworks?
What weapons will be used when Flash and HTML5 try to kill each other?

I’m not sure I understand the questions. We don’t have HTML5 tools yet, but my hope is that we draw on some of our knowledge on the Flash side and apply it to the DOM and Canvas.

… “try to kill each other?”
That is a moot point, and has already been proven many times over. Flash and HTML5 are completely different things, and will live together in peace, you know, once the fanboys quiet down…

If the HTML5 working groups don’t start to really work together I think Adobe’s HTML5 IDE will be ready way before their is actually a solid specification to work with.
See you next week at FATC!

So far, everything people have been saying about HTML5 so far is that it’s going to clone features that have been in Flash for years and therefore Flash is going to die because an open standards equivalent has arrived.
One thing HTML5 developer pundits have to remember though is that the web is ruled by web/graphic designers and not coders.
Unless tools that allow non-coder designers to tie in animation (tweening), vector art, timeline manipulation, layered objects, nested movieclip + art assets, sound, etc with the ease that they currently can in Flash arrive, don’t expect to see HTML5 taking over Flash’s niche anytime soon except in devices that support HTML5 and not Flash like the iPhone.

“… We don’t have HTML5 tools yet….”
I’m not sure it’s that binary… there may be some “HTML5″ projects out there that don’t use existing Adobe tooling, but they’d likely be the exception.
Seems more like we’ll (of course!) continue improving our long-proven HTML authoring support, as the runtimes themselves slowly improve…?

“We’re Going to Try To Make the Best Tools in the World for HTML5″
It would have been more reassuring if that line would have been:
“We’re Going to Make the Best Tools in the World for HTML5″
But then again, as Adobe is not capable of making proper Flash for a Mac I’m going to hold my breath for this to happen.
