Sure, I’m a Webdesigner! I Have Dreamweaver! (continued)
I stumbled across an excellent post on molly.com today that I was going to include as an extra resource to my previous post. However, she makes some great points that warrant a new post of its own.
“…Without an understanding of the languages with which you work — HTML, XHTML and CSS in this context — you are at a disadvantage and probably missing very important nuances by relying on your software to spit out the code for you. You will do much better having a strong understanding of both the languages and the software with which you work. This way, you are doing the thinking, the decision-making, and not the tool. Don’t let your software think for you — trust me on this one. No software product is strong enough yet to replace solid education in the languages themselves.”
Thats all I’m going to give you, the article itself is well worth the read so jump on over and check it out!
