It’s not The Long and Winding Road (Flash to HTML)
Yesterday I did a small job for a company that involved converting a Flash Image Gallery to HTML+jQuery. I used to think Steve Jobs was a Day Tripper when he said they would not support Flash on the iPad, don’t Ask Me Why but I now agree with him and I feel fine. I don’t [...]
