WebGL is going to be huge very soon.

Developers that are fluent with the technology are going to be in high demand once more people know what you can do & stuff like this is what everyone wants.

Time to get reading!



Honestly, why would they be in more demand than Flash developers?


He didn't say they would be.

But to answer your question: mobile devices that don't support Flash.


Mobile devices don't yet support WebGL either. If you want to do 3D on mobile you have to use CSS 3D Transforms (not supported on some platforms) or Canvas Context2D with a "software" renderer (slow).


They will soon enough. If you start any substantial project now, by the time you finish WebGL will be available on most high-end phones, at least on Android.

Btw. the Nokia N900 has had WebGL support for a year or so. Too bad it's not a very popular model.


Thanks, that's what I meant.
