Nils Millahn, Technical Director of DN Digital in Shoreditch, London, shares his views on HTML 5, the future of web design, the death (or not) of Flash and much more.  This article was taken from an interview for a magazine that will go to print in November.

Is Flash Dead?

That’s the question everybody is asking. As a company specialising in complex Flash and Flex applications, the death of Flash would of course be a major blow! At the centre of our industry however, the picture looks very different. The market is extremely buoyant, demand is as high as ever and good developers are hard to find.

So what is really going on? The surge to replace Flash is taking place under the banner of open standards but the extreme positions of various parties suggest that there are different motivations at play. Flash has been tremendously successful for over a decade and I see current events as the natural rhythm of development styles, power games and business interests.

We’ve put together the definitive HTML5 training course – to clear up all the confusion about HTML5 and make you production ready as quickly as possible.

It’s time to cut through all the political debate about video formats and focus on what’s actually important to web designers and front-end developers: What are the new features? How do I use them? When can I use them?

We answer all these questions and more in the training course, including:

• the state of HTML 5 in today’s browsers and the implication for you as a web designer and developer
• new tags and how to use them to mark up your HTML 5 pages
• best practice recommendations for semantic HTML 5 markup
• new form input types introduced in HTML 5
• new client-side form validation features in HTML 5
• the new video tag and how it impacts on your work, how to implement it, write Javascript code against it and integrate it into a production setup
• the new audio tag – what it does and how to work with it
• the new canvas tag – native graphics scripting using Javascript

Interested? Take a look at the full course information or jump right in and book online now.

It’s going to be an interesting, fast-paced two days – looking forward to seeing you there!

Senior Flex developer/architect on a new section for the volkswagen.co.uk site. In the space of three weeks I developed a fully functional prototype for a brand-new section of the volkswagen.co.uk site, working alongside in- house developers, the design team and account management. I also made recommendations on how the framework used for the site could become more flexible and investigated a new technique for integrating dynamic content.

Developed in Flex 3 using the Springseed framework.
