I like to get my cf coding done FASTER by dragging and dropping cfml code
snips all over the place and then. I actually enter the outside world once
in a while (ya know... sunlight).... grab the horse from out in th meadow,
hook ol bessie up to the carriage and take a buggy ride to the farmers
market... milk a cow by hand, slaughter a another one for some steaks and
while Im at it kill myself a chicken for some barbecue.... all the while
listening to my walkman.
Cuz ya know... that modernized store bought stuff and automobiles is for
damn sissies......
The difference in the homesite/studio "tool" is.. it doesnt do the coding
for you... it leverages the developers existing knowledge and lets them
speed up the doing of many of the "mundane-brainless" tasks requireing
excessive "typing".
I dont think studio has taught anyone how to properly use
session/application/server scoped variables and where to place them.. or
stored proc's or code cfml etc... - it just saves time. Period. Being able
to type real fast in Notepad or some other text editor doesnt make for a
smarter better developer than someone who is able to leverage the tools in
studio - its just makes them a better typist. Equating studio to cheating
yourself of the knowledge learned by notepad coding doesnt fly.
Well.. out a milk... gotta go...
