Great article but I think you're thinking too far into the future. Ultimately Flash will die but its going to be a slow IE6-like death IMHO.

We're making online teaching systems for Cram schools, English schools, etc and I've found nothing aside from Flash that as a reasonable way to access a webcam and/or microphone right now short of writing a browser plugin, which requires nsapi and IE plugin code for 32/64 bit Mac, PC, Linux - quite an undertaking for most mere mortals. Given the HTML5 discussions going on right now with Google / Chrome supporting H.264 and Firefox squarely in the "patent free codec" Theora/Ogg corner, I can't see anyone filling the webcam / audio publishing void aside from Adobe anytime soon. Or at the very least, with no where near the same level of browser penetration as Flash.

I never quite saw the point of Flex. It seemed like a way for Adobe to jump on the "XML markup for everything" bandwagon too late and carried an air (no pun intended) of "seriously sophisticated for serious IT business" in the same way Java is too heavy and over engineered for the web.

I hope Flash goes away - I really do. An open, standards compliant equivalent that worked across all platforms, preferably without installation would be a godsend to me but I just don't see it happening in the next 5 years or so.

The world is becoming more complex, I think we can all agree on that. Change will come from the bottom up (as it has mostly come throughout history anyways), so you could ask how necessary top down advice is. Your advice in particular might be difficult to sell, because it marginalizes the current organizational structures, in which all the stakeholders have their own vested interests. Therefore, I think an evolution will take place, but at a much slower pace than we'd like to see. Nevertheless, props for raising awareness. For now, especially young companies and startups - in all industries - can take their advantage with it.

Now this is one great idea really. Being able to make your own widget is just one thing a lot of people are looking for.

Now whoever said geniuses aren't made in 24 hours, surely didn't know this yet.

Hmm interesting read but most of it crap. Part of the reason why Flash has become the dominate platform in RIA is because of the massive community that supports it. Okay, the Flash player and the IDE may not be open source in itself, but all the frameworks and API's that people build to work with it are and these are constantly changing and getting more powerful as the platform evolves, ie, Papervision, APE, Box2D, PureMVC, Cairngorm, Away3D, etc etc.

At first I thought you were being harsh, now I'm in full agreement.

I have everything working properly in one project, and buttnutt decides on the next release to completely change how everything works.

Re: Writing some code to extract the relevant blocks of information (div, p etc.) from an HTML page. Any tricks or tools I should be aware of?

you should use regular expresions for that, im programming a web spyder for testing some things ive learned, and regex is the best way.
I use java SE for that.
Java+regex = world domination

I'd love to talk with you about some ideas - this is the kind of project I've had interest in collaborating on for sometime - from a business strategy & implementation side. I'm an American startup guy now living in Hamburg, Germany - close enough to talk over beers sometime! :)

That's interesting.
I like the details.
By the way your http://wigitize.com/ is not responding at all.
What did you use to balance with the second slice ?
What will be more effective 2 slices with 256 MB RAM or 1 slice 512 MB RAM ?
