Processing JS

It's the Processing Library ported to JavaScript.I feel like a broken record.

Or if you've got Safari (because Safari has the best support right now for the new 'Audio' tag) you can check out the audio for Browser Pong. Music playback is all triggered via JavaScript using the Audio element only. No Flash. No Quicktime.

This site demonstrates some the basic capabilities
I put together a list of examples here

Something to keep in mind though, making a side by side comparison of HTML5 and Flash is pretty pointless.
1) HTML5 is much bigger than just a rich media platform - it's simply the next version of HTML.
2) The rich media aspects of HTML5 will require months and years of effort to perfect.
The one area where HTML5 has immediate potential to compete with Flash, is video. YouTube, Vimeo, and Facebook have all created HTML5 versions of the video on their sites.

Flash is dead except for game designers that want to hide their code.

so what exactly is 'HTML5 video' if HTML 5 is just the next version of html ?
- ukit0
HTML5 will have a <video> tag.
- and then what?********
- And then browsers will be able to interpret it to play video without relying on a third party plugin.ukit
- then you use javascript to control playbackacescence
- ok i get it i think********
- It's basically the web the way you'd expect it to work:)ukit
- yeah makes sense. there isn't much you can do with a video file on the net without flash.********
- ...until html5 that is********
- and then what?

is that true?:
The reason HTML 5 will always be inferior to Flash and Silverlight for many tasks is because it is a standard that must be interpreted across a multitude of devices by a multitude of browser and device developers. Just like all prior versions of HTML and XHTML. It is why web development is so incredibly painful. It is why companies write rich applications in Flash and Silverlight in the first place. A single company controls the experience across every browser on every platform. If it is broken, they kick one ass and get it fixed. Whose ass do you kick if Firefox, Chrome, IE, and Safari all implement an HTML proposed video or canvas tag according to the proposal but slightly differently? There's no ass. Or more correctly, there are WAY too many asses.Yes, perhaps HTML 5's video might make Flash unnecessary for most web video. But believe me, RIAs--that's rich internet applications if you're too old a programmer ;)--will likely always require a single target. Games as well.
There are so many that believe HTML 5 is the savior. I REALLY don't think a one of them is a web developer. Or at least not an old...err...experienced one.
— Engadget- It's a been a problem throughout the history of the web for sure.ukit
- But look at browsers today, you can safely write cross browser JS. Which is the "Actionscript" of HTML5.ukit
- It's no doubt W3C needs to get it's shit together too, and I think the more proactive they are the better it will be for all.ismith
- They can't force companies to do anything though, right? Microsoft is the main culprit.ukit

- w3c is a rubber stamp committee. The real power is the Apple-Google-Mozilla... axis, aka whatwgkpl
- also, the axis has recently annexed Poland. I mean Microsoft.kpl

The HTML5 potential is hard to "see".

Watch the HTML 5 demo when Apple introduces it's iAd platform, its near the end of the presentation, some Toy Story 3 ad: http://www.google.com/search?q=a…

Tomorrow, online document sharing site Scribd will start to ditch Flash across its tens of millions of uploaded documents and convert them all to native HTML5 Web pages.

Thanks! A lot of things to learn
