* Source – Pro Silverlight 3 in C#, Matthew MacDonald, APress 2009** Source – RIAStats.com*** HTML5:"Will HTML 5 make RIA technologies such as Adobe Flash/Flex and Microsoft Silverlight obsolete? For at least the next five years, the answer is a definite 'no,'" reads Hammond's executive summary. "Inconsistent implementations of the draft HTML 5 specification and immature tooling make building HTML 5 apps that work consistently across browsers and operating systems a real challenge." - Forrester author and principal analyst Jeffrey Hammond When W3C itself projects 2022 (no, that's not a typo) as the earliest date that a final HTML 5 specification can be completed and published, some are actually saying that date is optimistic.The next stage for HTML 5 adoption is the first "candidate recommendation," set for 2012...At that time, Hammond foresees a process not unlike network appliance vendors hawking "802.11n" or "pre-11n" wares prior to that standard's final adoption last October.In 2015, we'll see pretty consistent support, even though there won't be a final standard. So I don't think it's dead, but I think you need to differentiate between a 'good enough' implementation and a 'fully compliant' standard.""The folks that benefit most from a new standard are the folks that don't necessarily have a commanding position in the existing standard," Hammond responded. ===========================================================================================SOURCE: http://www.betanews.com/article/Actual-Analysis-Is-HTML-5-already-outmoded/1273009131===========================================================================================Ian Hickson, editor of the HTML5 specification, expects the specification to reach the W3C Candidate Recommendation stage during 2012, and W3C Recommendation in the year 2022 or later.[8] However, many parts of the specification are stable and may be implemented in products:Some sections are already relatively stable and there are implementations that are already quite close to completion, and those features can be used today (e.g. <canvas>).– WHAT Working Group, When will HTML5 be finished?[8], FAQ===========================================================================================SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5===========================================================================================
