My experience has been that often designers dont think of developer's as creative peers. Its a different kind of creativity and its not just laying code in a pre-determined order - there are often many ways to accomplish the same functionality. Coming up with an elegant and maintainable architecture is also very important. -- Aj. _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
