Isn't it funny how computer skills, just like the computers themselves, evolve at such a rapid pace? Some of us who find ourselves doing hard-core computer programming today got our start with HTML and CGI in the enthralling days of the early web. I happen to be one of those people. If you've also dabbled in the wonderful world of pseudo-coding called "web design" you undoubtedly recognize that, these days, most designers fall into one of two camps. The first camp uses a WYSIWYG editor like Dreamweaver to design and publish a web page. The second camp uses a text editor like Emacs or Vim to code HTML by hand and an FTP client to upload the finished page to a web server for the world to see and, hopefully, appreciate. The first camp sacrifices flexibility for convenience, and the second, convenience for flexibility. Neither way is wrong, but neither way is totally right either.
