Flash never got in the way the same like js. My main take from the whole piece is how it has changed the way websites are developed, to match that of traditional software development. Like the need to deploy to change some text in the footer of our website
Ow my dear, you never used flash did you? We didn't even have 'deploys' back then, we needed to re-upload the entire container file, to change some text in the footer
No - I never coded complete websites in flash. But if I did my «upload of the whole container» would have been my deployment
You are correct, but missing the point.
Nah. im right on target, but thanks for the great insights
Why did you think I put 'deploy' in quote then?
I was referring to how it affected website development, not UX.
From my understanding of the article the author has noting against js, just how it affects the development process and architecture choices.
