Blarg.

Next-to-useless Macromedia Dreamweaver seminar. Last hour or two from an all-day thing were the only novel material, and, as a code monkey, I wasn't the target audience - "This wysiwyg gui pisses javascript programmers off, because you don't need to know anything to do this stuff!" [yes, dipshit, but what if something -breaks-?!?!]

"You can do really cool shit! . . . if you have a programmer to make the forms actually do something. . . and someone to whip up all these snazzy graphics ahead of time..."

I've been back at the office for an hour, and I already want to stab people. *sigh*

well, the compumaster course i went to was for less-proficient users; hopefully, yours will be more attuned to your skill level, and you'll get more out of it.

You see what they need is a seminarthat teaches code minkeys like you how to work with graphic monkeys like me. Sadly the days have gone when the graphics department would come up with fancy designs hand it off to the teki people and say 'we would like it to do this', the teki people then work thier magic or send it back with some revised ideas, bingo good design and solid code..
I make things look nice FFS I don't want to know the secrets of database intergration...
The world of the web is becoming filled with jack of all trades and masters of none..

no, worse.

it's becoming peopled with people who can only use a GUI, and management and accounting departments who value speed and cost-savings over robust and well-executed solutions.

Cheap, Fast, Good. Pick two.

It's always the first two, and then they have to pay, pay, pay for the third.
