Comments on: Adobe Announces End-Of-Life for SVG Viewer http://www.codedread.com/blog/archives/2006/09/09/adobe-announces-end-of-life-for-svg-viewer/ Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:56:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jacobus http://www.codedread.com/blog/archives/2006/09/09/adobe-announces-end-of-life-for-svg-viewer/comment-page-1/#comment-463 Jacobus Thu, 21 Sep 2006 20:56:10 +0000 http://blog.codedread.com/archives/2006/09/09/adobe-announces-end-of-life-for-svg-viewer/#comment-463 Hi there, I wouldn't worry about poor old Adobe taking their dated tool of the shelf. Opera, Firefox and many many mobile phones out there are still going strong. I recently developed my fist SVG hello world widget in Opera, and SVG has many uses there! Also, after re-discovering the tremendous power of XML and XSL to create SVG in many forms, I can't see that there is any stopping this winning horse. Some reminders: SVG is open - Flash, VML and all the other developer frustrations out there are not SVG does time based animation, while Flash does frame based animation SVG purrs like a kitten when used with other XML related technologies. Opera is proving this very strongly at the moment. Man, you can do just about anything you can think of. Oh well, I'm still a believer! Have a look at my site if you like at www.locateandtrade.com. It's South African based, but it's a good start for a SVG implementation. I'm already busy with a whole new version, that will use XML all the way. Thanks for you stunning site! I visit it regularely. I just also stumbled onto this one http://www.treebuilder.de/default.asp?file=306286.xml shows you SVG still has some bite! Cheers! Hi there,
