Until the most recent versions of HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, Web designers relied on Adobe Flash and other application-development programs for creating animated and interactive Websites. While this approach served us well for many years, it had its share of drawbacks and limitations not the least of them being forcing site visitors to download huge embedded files and rely on various plugins Flash Player, for example to play the content. Now, by combining HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, we can create much of our animations and interactivity with browser-compatible code, which downloads and processes much faster than embedded animations and applications. The problem with this approach is that, to create sophisticated animations and interactivity, you need to be fairly proficient at composing at least three types of Web programming languages. And that’s where Adobe Edge Animate comes in. Edge Animate provides a what-you-see-is-what-you-get WYSIWIG interface, where you layout your animations and interactivity on a stage and timeline, and Edge Animate in turn creates all the necessary code. Edge Animate eliminates a lot of the trial-and-error and research, making creating the animated and interactive sections of your pages much less time-consuming, easier, and less frustrating.
