Does drag and drop coding well ?

Question

I don't like memorizing lots of codes . But I think I could be much more creative . if I coded everything like a jigsaw puzzle .

Answer 1

This thread contains some insight on the cons of drag-and-drop programming:

The general idea is that you are not aware of what and how drag-and-drop programming generates code. In this sense, maintainability may be compromised. Fine-tuning your code in the future may break other parts of the program silently. Integrating your drag-and-drop built program with other services/APIs can be a pain, etc.

Surely, you can start off with visual-based coding to brush up on logic, but coding is necessary, IMO.

Answer 2

I agree. The biggest concern is performance. Drag and drop is fine for limited mockups, storyboarding, etc. but as the volume grows, so does the amount of unnecessary datapoints accumulated.

There's nothing wrong with becoming a web designer and just skipping out on most of the web development stuff. I've hired some extremely talented people for contract positions in this field.

(But it's nice when web designers know enough about the dev side to understand what components will be difficult to implement.)
