Skiller

In the last few weeks – in the wake of the release of Adobe’s Creative Suite 5, Apple’s iPad and Steve Job’s fittingly timed (and most importantly, partly factually incorrect) attacks on the Flash technology – I’ve read so many blog posts discussed with so many people in direct conversations, courses, and on conferences about the matter that I’m actually getting pretty tired of it.

At first, I thought about putting my 2 cents here, but since almost all points I’d like to make have been uttered elsewhere already (with varying degrees of verbosity), I’ll simply post interesting links to those places instead. Check back regularly – this page will be updated frequently.
