    Hi,

    I'm pretty new to this forum and I was just wondering would it be beneficial to learn Flash CS4 or continue practicing it.
    I know it's used in flash banners on the web, but other than that does Flash really have a future in WebDesign or is it even relevant to designing apps for Android phones, ( iphones don't do flash, right?)
    Any input would be appreciated.

    Adobe Discontinues Development of Flash Player on Mobile Devices

    I don't see it as being relevant to Android, iPhone or Windows Phone and wouldn't employ it in web design as I feel there is no need with the current state of HTML5 and JavaScript.

    I personally have flash disabled on my laptop and only enable it for certain websites where it is critical like RTÉ Player. I personally wouldn't be looking at learning Flash.

    In short it depends.
    • Flash is going to be less relevant in the coming years, it is a dying platform.
    • If mobile is not important to you, then Flash still has the most widespread support amongst browsers for multimedia content compared to HTML5.
    • Flash is still a great tool to mocking things up and prototyping things.
    • It's still great for e-learning and Kiosk style applications.

    You can develop apps in Flash cs5 and compile them for both Android and iOS.

    It exports them as a package that can then be uploaded and sold through the App Store and the marketplace. It's no longer a Flash file so it'll work fine on iOS.

    I dunno, I still enjoy it and it's my most comfortable programming language...
