Browser graphics: Java Applet vs Flash vs anything else?
- by Andrey
Hello!
We sell photoalbums which our customers create theirselves using a client album editor program (for Windows). Now we are going to develop an online program so customers could create their albums in the browser: upload photos and edit them. This is going to be a rich browser application with full graphics support.
The problem is what technology to use?
Our server application is build in Java and we think about Java Applets so that we could reuse some Java-code. We are also not very familiar with Flash.
But some people say that Flash is preferred.
Maybe there're some modern technologies now? SVG or some Google technologies (like GWT but with graphics support) or something?
What do you think?
Thanks in advance!
