HTML 5 is gaining more popularity with each day, so it's no wonder to see that major companies such as Adobe are releasing tools that can allow us to create animated web content quickly using HTML 5, CSS, and JavaScript.

HTML 5 is an alternative to Flash, so Adobe has decided to release a new product called Adobe Edge that will make the process of creating animated content without Flash a bit easier. We also have to mention that Adobe Edge isn't designed to replace Flash, instead, it's designed to work bring similar Flash experience to iOS devices in HTML 5 format. Adobe Edge currently focuses on core animation engine, but in the future Adobe plans to add more features such as Canvas support, HTML 5 Audio and Video tags, and improved support for animated SVG graphics.

Adobe Edge has a lot to offer to HTML 5 developers, and it's currently free during the public preview stage, so make sure you get the chance to try it out.
