Re: [WSG] hand coding versus code generators

[Mary Wright]

I have a print design background so I started producing websites using GoLive because the layout and preview modes felt like a more familiar work environment. As I've gained more experience and knowledge I've found I use the source code view much more (and understand what I'm looking at!).

Its the way forward, for sure. What Im not so sure about is using a code generator eg. Dreamweaver. Ive always hand coded my HTML, javascript, ASP, SQL�etc using a text editor (past 4 years). What do people think about hand coding versus code generators? What percentage of developers totally hand code, use both, use only code generators? regards Simon<x-tad-smaller> </x-tad-smaller>
