As promised, here is my first blog post of the semester. The purpose of this blogpost is to ensure that all the students have signed up for the Feedburner email updates, and they are receiving them.
So for extra credit, here is an assignment. As you may have already heard, there is a war going on between Apple and Adobe, and HTML 5 is being thrown into the discussion, perhaps as a shield to deflect some of the ire coming from the supporters of each. Apple claims that they are not including Flash in their iPhone and iPad platforms because it is too buggy, and causes them to crash. Adobe claims to be ready, willing, and able to support anything Apple has to offer them. Either way, it seems like HTML 5 is going to be the new web standard.
Here are 3 articles you should read first:

After reading these articles, post a comment here, and it will count towards your final class participation grade.
