Well, according to the report done by <a href="http://www.donanza.com/blog/2010/07/21/work-from-home-market-trends-report-q2-2010/" target="_blank">DoNanza.com</a>, in Q2 2010 there was a 474% increase in the demand for HTML5 developers. How was Flash faring in the same report? Down 24%. But to put it in perspective, there were 11 times as many Flash projects posted as there were HTML5 projects. It's an interesting report nonetheless.&nbsp;</p>
