SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) vs Flash
Even though SVG is growing in popularity, to me, at least, it’s lagging behind Flash.There have been several discussions and posts on SVG animation, it seems most of them initiated from the SVG side. Among them, quite recent one though still more than two years old from Google (http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2007-04-26-n31.html), indicating Google was leaning towards Flash.I think Open SVG (not from Adobe) should be developed more quickly and should be extended to the other media (audio and video). Clearly, it’s elegant in its systax and has some friends like Ajax.From outside the SVG circle, I just hope IE and Firefox will fully support SVG in near future though I recall MS saying there are too many variants in SVG standards.Good luck, SVG.
Thanks.

On SVG Animation
This blog is all about animations on the web.
Though I have some experience of doing animation with OpenGL and Java, I am virtually a newcomer to the web land.
Nowadays, web Animations are using GIF, FLASH, JavaScript, SVG techniques.
One of my site (BoGoToBoGo-http://www.bogotobogo.com/) will be dedicated to animations and another site ( EpicMath - http://www.epicmath.com/) to the application side, especially, math.
So, the purpose of the two sites is to develop animation techniques for math education. There are lots of useful animations that make math a fun subject rather than dreadful, fearful and boring. This site will learn from those techniques as well as develop new methods which give some insights into the elegance of math. I think SVG animation may be the primary tool for my animation.
The covered area will be limited by my short knowledge of math. But I will try to extend it to complex numbers, topology if possible. Of course, it should cover some basic stuffs such as calculus, geometry, statistics, and linear algebra.
Even though I am not an expert on Web Animations, I've been programming extensively using a couple of languages such as C++/C#/Java and the scripts like Python, Perl, Javascript and PHP etc.The sites will have animations using SVG+Javascript, GIF, Flash, and Java Applet as well as OpenGL animations, eventually.
Good luck Math!
Thanks.
