Flash is still viable but dying
Rating: 5 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Flash was heavily used for certain simulations of software and hardware solutions. It has departmentalized use specific to research and development. In some cases, certain interactions, simulations, and hardware intents can be realized using Flash. It allows for quick implementation, rich interactions, object-orientated code, and web rendering. It's use has been in decline because of the speed we get from other tools and native solutions we use.
Pros
- Fast development
- Rich interactions and animations
- Object-oriented code
Cons
- The ability to create projectors again (Win/PC)
- Security always seems to be an issue
- Flash seems to be on the designer/developer decline (it has for years)
Likelihood to Recommend
It's well suited for quick simulations and demos. It's good for very rich web interfaces, video delivery, and games.
