What is the importance of coding html if I can design web site by Dreamweaver pro easily?

Answer 1

what's the purpose of learning to drive when you can take a taxi?

Answer 2

I remember asking such a question to one of my professors. Why even code when we can do drag-and-drop. The answer is simple - The latter frequently results in unexpected behaviour when you try to combine/integrate different parts of the code together. Furthermore, by not being able to code, it means that you do not understand the logic and algorithm behind the language, what goes under the hood. This leads to inability at debugging, giving rise to even more issues down the road. Getting a job is out of the question (well, unless your company uses, you know, LabView).

Answer 3

It has importance dude.. You see Dreamweaver might provide you only limited types of layout, design, font type or any type of editing not like the way you want but coding has no limits, you can code and design any type of Web page you want... Literally ANY!! These apps are just for easy goers and they only provide a lice se to publish your websitr

Answer 4

Drag and drop might be easier but I've always found a personal value in creating something completely from scratch and then resulting in a finished product that you can be incredibly proud of by thinking 'I did that. That was all me.'

Additionally, I feel like it would be the difference in going to a foreign country and taking a translation dictionary versus learning the actual language. Personally gratifying and waaaay less confusing.

Answer 5

WYSIWYG editors exist but people don't get that they only design websites, they don't develop them, so the sites made with these editors can do nothing more than look nice. HTML IS THE WEB, if you want to code and don't know HTML there's really no point - No website can exist without it.

Answer 6

when you went to grade school, did you learn basic math or were you given a calculator first and skip basic arithmetic? why? simple if you don't understand the basic logic of the operations, you can never make proper use of the output. Same applies to web design, what if you needed to make an adjustment requiring css or Javascript, you aren't going to drag and drop that in, for example. Dont build a bomb if you don't know how it works, it's likely to go off in your face

Answer 7

HTML is the brick of building. By Dreamweaver, you may drag n drop bricks or style them to certain extent but if you know the bricks, you can do ANYTHING with them. Dreamweaver may provide you 10,20 or 50 functionalities but it's only you who can give your brick, infinite properties...

Answer 8

there would be no Dreamweaver pro if they didn't code and it allows selfreliance

Answer 9

yeah, you are right

Answer 10

If You Know HTML properly then you can edit or indicate the fault in your code....so,Knowing Dreamweaver is not quite enough....

Answer 11

Yes of course you can make a website by Dreamweaver pro but after finishing that website, all credits will go for that software. You can make a website but you will not be technically sounded and skilled in HTML language. Skilled can be acquired only by hand coding yourself.

Please don't underestimate Sololearn Courses:-)

Answer 13

tldr: accessibility, modular interactivity, anything "cutting edge"

I stopped using dreamweaver in 2006 or so when i started trying to make interactive websites. I would often find someone else's JavaScript library that solved whatever problem i was trying to solve, but i found that I needed finer and cleaner control over the layout of my page to make it truly dynamic. The extra nested divs that dreamweaver added were making my css and JavaScript behave in completely unexpected ways! This was before the wide adoption of HTML5, of course, but it was still considered "bad form" among web designers to use so much unnecessary code. Another thing i hated was trying to add accessibility functions - in that version of dreamweaver there was nearly no support for designing a web page that could be properly viewed in Lynx. It was a nightmare. I used notepad.exe when i was at school, and notepad++ when i finally got my own computer... translating the terrible code that happened when someone exported html files from MSWord doesn't even need explanation... *shudder*

Answer 14

if you are using any applications or a drag and drop creator, you will use only what is available to you, you will not be able to customise, or cannot do an innovative idea.

Answer 15

there would be no Dreamweaver pro if they didn't code and it allows selfreliance

Answer 16

What most of us call "coding" is actually laying words and sings in a particular syntax and logic that results in an expected behavior. However this layer works precisely because lower level coding preceeded it. So, using Dreamweaver, or drag and drop as a strategy to build code are deeper or higher level simplifications of using a given language. Each has their advantages and disadvantages. The lower you get in coding the higher is your understanding of the machine you are dealing with. The choice is yours. If you can go along with drag and drop and produce useful and maintainable software, so be it. But it is sure fun to dive deep.

Answer 17

Drag and drop = operator work like (Computer Operators & Data Entry Operator), web development = as a Creator (Technically & Logically)

Answer 18

in short : you need to understand what you are doing !

Answer 19

Oh html not only used for making websites. This may shed some lights about programming languages, their intended uses and their uses and the line of distinction between them :
