I totally agree. I will us an "editor" first to establish the foundation and then go in later to edit the code myself by hand. It is easier to build a house when some of the parts are readily available. I am not going to chop down a tree when I can buy 4 x 8 sheets of plywood. csgallagher wrote: It should be noted however as a relevant tangent that the United Snakes is in fact a fascist nation whose corrupt rulers when paid will make laws preventing the hard working and more technically astute within the population from employing themselves in a manner to use such hard work to bargain for the higher rates of revenue that their sycophant managers will use corruption to retain for themselves.

I have to agree with Tony Graham yet point out a fallacy he makes. While it may in fact be shown to be true that in time IDE (Integrated Development Environment) tools e.g. 'Authoring' will in fact make their way into the market for those who are not as technically skilled this will not change the fact that developmental technologies are and will remain a moving target. Nor does it address the shortcomings of any specific IDE in any of one's released iterations to address the objective value of the tool itself. Similarly Graham's presumed outcome cannot account for the dumbed-down user's need to modify that which needs to be modified when and where needed. This borne out by my experience suggests to me that I need to continue becoming as adept as possible using the technologies so I may remain employable and ultimately able to pay my telephone bill so I can pontificate that which I really have no power to change but for the effort to make my small voice heard. Maybe. I see the technology bar raising higher and higher. This is not a bad thing in and of itself. I accept this as a personal and professional challenge. It should be noted however as a relevant tangent that the United Snakes is in fact a fascist nation whose corrupt rulers when paid will make laws preventing the hard working and more technically astute within the population from employing themselves in a manner to use such hard work to bargain for the higher rates of revenue that their sycophant managers will use corruption to retain for themselves. Be forewarned. The 'dummy' is a nasty animal and the sycophant is its friend.
