“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.”
