Improve Website Usability Using jQuery, HTML5, And CSS3
Remember back when if you wanted to add interactivity to your site to improve the UX aspect to make it more appealing to visitors, you had to immediately go to a flash outlet? Well that sure does seem like a long time ago now, surprisingly so because it was just a few short years ago. The decline of Flash use for these instances can be credited to advances in web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery. These advancements have made the use of Flash in most cases an outdated and inefficient method of tackling interactivity in a website. That is why in this article, we're going to take a look at HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery tutorials, techniques, and resources that can replace aspects of a website where the use of Flash was the dominant and most practical option.
What is the Future of Adobe Flash?
The fate of Adobe Flash is in a stir lately. Who wouldn't talk about it when two Steve's are out there to get it by the neck? Steve Jobs and Steve Ballmer have decided that Flash's reign is over. At least in the sense that Microsoft and Apple and other major technology companies have started shifting from Flash to different platforms. What's in store for developers and users? Users would wonder if they're affected by this change. Depending on what they use their devices for, it might make or break a lot of things. Take for example gamers. There are major gaming websites that focus on Flash like Kongregate and Newgrounds, I guess Apple users won't be able to play games anymore. For developers, this might be a problem (or a business) as they will have to rewrite their products. Apple is a behemoth that does not support Flash. Two Steve's are actually moving away from Flash, the other Steve is Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's CEO. Imagine that? Two huge industry giants versus Adobe Flash! Is the future of Adobe Flash grim? Before addressing the real issue here, let's first look at why Flash is a target and not others.

Frameworks are helpful with this. They've already been tried, tested and proven. Of course, you can always make them better, but they are a really good starting point. This time we will talk a little about frameworks and other tools, like generators and templates. So, let's rock.
