Adobe recently announced that flash will no longer be updated for future support. This is huge news for people like myself who have programmed flash apps and games for over 7 years. No more Flash updates on phones!

What prompted the decision for Adobe was the amazing new capabilities of HTML5 and the sweeping industry of Android development. Likewise, I have decided that it’s time for me to make my move as well. It’s time to develop Android applications!

What does this mean? I’ll have to start learning Java and ultimately purchase an Android phone. This is a huge investment, but I think it’ll serve me well in the future. What particularly attract me to this new step is the android and amazon app store. Rather than focusing on how to do business, the stores will worry about that and allow me to just put my effort on what I like to do most: program.

This transition will not come easy. I’ll have to learn a lot of the basics: from best practice to Android API calls. I’ve heard it’s difficult, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy the investment.

What does this mean? I’ll be posting a lot of my findings and my research. It’s my hope to update this blog in increments according to my research and allow you all to see my progress.
