“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.

Good Interview with Kevin Lynch on Small Screen Content

Beet.tv has a good interview with Kevin Lynch in which Kevin talks about the shift in how content is created. The gist is that content creators will start creating for the small screen and scaling up from there. I think that plays with how we’ve been talking about contextual applications. The small screen is a very different beast to design for and it forces you to really think about your user interface. You just don’t have the real estate to make mistakes on the small screen. That’s going to be a key discipline and I think we’ll see UIs scale up from those small screens, which will hopefully improve the UI on the larger screens as well.
