Flash has long since held a near-total domination of graphics-based online apps – however, with the advent of the iPhone and now with the anticipated release of the iPad, a major sector of mobile and possibly tablet market share cannot make use of the widespread Flash and Flash-based applications. Canvas is an HTML5 element allows for the dynamic painting of web-pages, and thus a way for developers to create visual elements for web-pages and apps independent of Flash. Is Canvas a viable alternative or even a threat to Flash's ubiquitous hold on the market? This is the question I wanted to discuss with Gregory Veen (@gregveen), of San Francisco's Small Batch Inc, who organized the Is Canvas the End of Flash? panel at SXSWi 2010.

Jana Thompson: Why did you want to do this panel at SXSWi?

I met Jim Hillhouse back in 2002, when he showed up at one of the GeekAustin lunches. Over the last year, I've watched him help put Austin's iPhone dev community on everyone's radar. Last weekend, I ask Jim to share a bit about iPhone development, the Cocoa Coders group, and the Austin tech scene.

Lynn Bender: It was Whurley who first told me that we had a large iPhone dev community in Austin. I got to see that first hand last year at BarCampAustin III. How long has there been a formal group iPhone dev group in Austin?
