People like you make the web a nazistic place :D.

Flex/flash push the web-application far away from what js is able to do.
The only rule wich needed to be followed is right technologie for right application.
Like nobody would understand why wikipedia would need flash (for exemple), nobody would understand why a complex information system with complex architecture would be develloped in html/js wich doesn’t allow you to follow any architectural rules

(and you can’t say my english is bad blablamomo i’m french, that’s will not make you more smart ;), or guive you the truth)

“Clearly no one in their right mind would sit down at a meeting and say, out of the blue, ‘Hey! You know what we need on our website?! A Flash intro!’ *tsk*” Gia, obviously you only attend meetings with a smarter class of person than I do :)

First off, long time no speak. A big hello from Nicaragua. Quite a change from Hanoi. But good. Very good. Pics on my flickr if you ever fancy a holiday.

As regards flash – I can only “do” blogs and crap looking ones at that but I’ve been begging designers for years not to use flash. Everyone hates it. Yes it makes web pages look like fancy magazines that designers read. But you just have to turn a page on a magazine.

Can you imagine where it would be if Google had decided to use a flash homepage?

It still amazes me that people don’t get that, however nice a website looks, people just want to find out information.

So anyway, hi Gia. Sunshine looks good. I still listen to the Five Live podcasts and demi-god Mark Kermode likes it. – I’ll try to find a pirate copy on the streets of Managua next time I visit.

Why? Because, I’m sure, some fast-talker from a Flash design company fooled the marketing people at M&S who don’t really know better into thinking they needed it. Simple as that. Clearly no one in their right mind would sit down at a meeting and say, out of the blue, ‘Hey! You know what we need on our website?! A Flash intro!’ *tsk*

After 5 minutes exposure to the Flash development environment I couldn’t help feel it was designed with graphic designers in mind rather than developers. Just my first impression though, I’m willing to be corrected. Oh. An M&S really should know better. Why did they have to add a flash intro a perfectly acceptable ‘retail’ portal :roll:
