And hopefully the next version of Dreamweaver will support HTML5 as well. Lots to look forward to! :) I’m sure that LVS will be teaching HTML5.

HTML 5 sounds very interesting. I'm guessing there will be new classes available at LVS? Now all I need is the time to take them. :D I knew that eventually there would be an HTML 5 (I learned HTML 4), but since I haven’t been keeping up with this stuff (too busy with graphics programs), I didn’t know what was coming down the road.

I think that Flash has its uses, but more often than not, it creates usability issues. I also choose HTML over Flash whenever I have that option. I'm very excited about HTML5 and hope we'll see it being used more and more and Flash less and less. Viki Hi Nightshadow,

I completely agree with you. I think that Flash has its uses, but more often than not, it creates usability issues. I also choose HTML over Flash whenever I have that option. I’m very excited about HTML5 and hope we’ll see it being used more and more and Flash less and less.

Even though I now have broadband (well, sort of...it's a lower tier DSL connection), it still takes a long time to download. Also, I don't find it to be user-friendly, especially when I'm trying to look at the sales flyers for my local stores and make a shopping list. If the site gives me a choice between viewing in HTML and viewing in Flash, I always opt for HTML Why is that? With Firefox and HTML, I can right-click on any of the sale items and open them in a new tab. Meanwhile, I still have the sale flyer on my first open tab. I can continue going back and forth this way until I'm finished browsing. On sites where only Flash is available, whenever I want more info on a certain sale item, I have to click on it, go to a new page, and then go back to where I was before. On some site, each time I return, I'm taken to the beginning of the sale flyer. This is incredibly frustrating, annoying, and a waste of my time. I for one will be happy if Flash disappeared forever.
