[thelist] Designer vs. Coder

[Jesus G. Gorriti]

If you are tired of this discussion, skip
the message. It's probably worthless anyways.


Now, we have come to one of the most interesting
parts of the Web: How to draw lines. Meaning that
most people need to see where things start and where
end. Where are the lines that say "here starts the
land of HTML" or "this is the end of IA zone".

Specially people from Human Resources. Those are
the worst.

Why not can't we accept that people can have
cross skills? We do websites that are cross browsers.
Is that too complicated to be understanded?

And going back to the topic: Designer vs. Coder.

Why not Designer + Coder = Web Designer?

Jeffrey Veen (www.veen.com) has recently released
a book called The Art & Science of Web Design. That
should be our bible.

I know design, I know code. I am happy with both of
them. Hell, I even like to manage projects sometimes.

Thanks for listening. I feel much better now...
where is my medicine?

P.S.: Ok, I know if you try to handle too many factors
you won't be able to do a good job in all of them. But
understanding and knowing about all of them helps a lot.


P.P.S.: HTML is not a programming language. :)
