I know limited HTML, but I desire to learn more. It's always seemed helpful to me.

Ah, I see. I never really got into that type of thing. Occasionally it's a fun toy that I'll turn on in emacs, bluej (when I was using it for the class I taught...barf), or Visual-what-have-you, but generally I don't use it.

Good coding practices (indentation, keeping track of brackets, braces, parenteses, quotes, etc.) eliminate most of the problems like that, but there have definitely been times where I've spent WAY too much time trying to track down what's causing a page to display wrong or a program to not compile and it's been a simple forgotten quote that would have been easily found if things in quotes were a certain color.

[quote][b]masfonos (4/29/2009)[/b][hr]True, that is one of the good things...pick a color from a palette and it gives you the code for it. I generally just open up GIMP and pick a color and copy the code from there[/quote]

I mean the actual code itself. It turns certain things dark blue, light blue, red, and green. So when you're sorting through your code, it's easier to interpret and differentiate tags from properties.

[quote][b]Alex.D (4/29/2009)[/b][hr]The one thing I do like about Dreamweaver is how it formats your code (color codes it, indents, etc.). And if you forget the code for something (input box for example) Dreamweaver can add it in easily. I spend most of my time in code-view.[/quote]

I started learning it on my own just by looking at other pages' source code and making my own in notepad. About the only improvement in my coding environment is that I've graduated to either WordPad or Nano as editors.

I've played around with Front Page and Coffee Cup a little bit and I just can't get into any of those WYSIWYG editors. It comes in kind of handy sometimes I guess to have it auto-complete tags when you're writing raw code, but it feels like a toy or something to build pages with a WYSIWYG editor without being able to see the code.

They may be good enough for building EXTREMELY simple pages, but for anything with real functionality, you need to be able to better interact with the server, the user, embedded scripts, etc.

Not knowing HTML and trying to make a website is like riding a motorcycle without ever having ridden a bicycle. Its tedious but once you learn it, you have a much better understanding of what you are really doing

It is best to know HTML if you want to make a website.

I agree as well. HTML is a good thing to know.

I have always used html for my gaming site and find it to be very adequate and also easy to teach others so they can set up pages as well. I don't see it becoming obsolete at all. Even beginners can grasp it.

There's no way it's going to be abandoned. It too ubiquitous.

I'm new to HTML and I intend to learn it...so hopefully it won't be cast aside and hardly used or else it would be a waste of my time...and I'd be quite annoyed to be honest...I really don't see it being abandoned.

[quote][b]cesc (2/6/2007)[/b][hr]HTML has been around for as long as the internet has been around and to be honest I don't see its usage declining in the near future. Several revisions have been done such as XHTML 1.0 and 1.1 and I'm pretty sure that there'll be more to come in the future. Even PHP based websites have HTML code within them despite being heavily decorated with PHP functions.

Yeah I have to agree with that...I dont see it dying out at all to be honest...maybe it might be phased out over a period of years but definitely not abruptly.

It's pretty dangerous to be learning about web design and not knowing HTML. It's the basis of everything and if you want to be able to truly design web sites, you need to know tricks of the language to make it work the best for you.

I agree. HTML editors or integrated development environment tools can speed up our web development process. But there is no subsitute for learning the very basic HTML coding. It definitely helps us better solve problems in our codes.

With the easy availability of different editors generally people do not spend much time into hardcore coding. I have always believed that one should know the engine which is running at the back-end. In this case it is HTML coding. If we know the language on our own then we can take the help of editors to build the skeleton and then use our knowledge to fine-tune it.
