There were multiple announcements at Google I/O this year and among the more significant ones was Adobe’s update pack to Dreamweaver for HTML5.  WebProNews caught up with Paul Gubbay, Adobe’s Senior Director of Engineering, to talk about this announcement and what it means for users.

“There is tons of innovation going on in the Web and I think Adobe can play a really big part in that,” says Gubbay.

Adobe’s update pack for Dreamweaver adds code hinting for HTML5 and improved code hinting for CSS3. In addition, the update includes multiscreen support. The company believes a lot of rich interactivity can be done in these areas and wants to get feedback from users.

As Gubbay explains, this update will allow users to build traditional websites that work across mobile devices, tablets, and desktops. But with this particular update, users can see the output as they are working. It allows users to take advantage of HTML5 code hinting and CSS3 code hinting. Gubbay says this is just the first step that illustrates how people can be productive as they build for multiple screens simultaneously.

With all this talk about HTML5, what happens to Flash? According to Gubbay, Flash and HTML5 have always coincided with each other. Although HTML5 is beginning to appear in areas that previously contained Flash, Gubbay says this creates great opportunities produce tools and services. He goes on to say that there are still innovations taking place in Flash and that there are some things that still cannot be done in HTML5.

In regards to the future, he says, “I absolutely see a world where both [Flash and HTML5] play, and I think it’s Adobe’s job to show how that works and to bring value to folks where we need to.”

  4. I am not sure of what I read and see in the video. Apple is not supporting Flash in their small hand held mobile devices and other gadgets. Flash is not being supported in Google Sites unless I use a Frame page (if someone knows how to do let me know). If slowly companies are breaking away from flash web animation then what future are we talking about. Some things may not be possible with HTML but it is just a matter of time before there will be animation in HTML equally good.

  9. It’s really hard to be on Adobe’s side, Apple gave them several years to come up with a solution for the iPhone and they came up with nothing.

    They are way too expensive and way to controlling to get behind them.

    Google will probably come up with free apps that will destroy Adobe’s ability to fleece the public.
