After reading 'Designing with Web Standards' by the aformentioned Jeffery Zeldman and then starting 'Flash Remoting: the definitive guide' I have experienced a feeling of guilt for building sites in Flash with no thought for accessibility, I also feel like a complete novice at html after coding what is now considered incorrectly for the past 5 years. So my new resolution is this, I am going to try and take on board as much as I can from Jeffrey's book and create non-presentational mark-up in XHTML transitional 1.0 and make the sites more accessible to screen readers etc. I also plan polish my CSS skills a little more so I can eventually drop the hybrid table layouts, but when time is against you on a project this is not always as easy as some make out! As for Flash, well I love flash and I'm not really feeling that guilty anymore so I am going to continue to read my Flash Remoting book and hopefully some day soon upgrade to 2004 so I can get moving on AS2.
