Assignment : Animation in HTML5

Built-in animation functionality is something very new to HTML5. To include animations in earlier versions of HTML files, you needed to embed other multimedia items, such as Adobe Flash, videos, or even animated graphics interchange format (GIF).

However, HTML5 natively supports some simple types of animation, which are straightforward and efficient to implement.

Tasks:

In a minimum of 250 words, respond to the following:

Discuss some of the best practices regarding animation and websites. Under what circumstances are animations helpful?

What things should be considered to avoid when creating a page that is too "busy" with animations?

Do you believe there is still a need for Adobe Flash? Discuss with justifications.
