Handcoding's Virtues

19 November 2002

In January of this year, I began learning how to learn HTML. I’m still not there, yet. Not only have I not learned much HTML, but I haven’t learned how to learn it.

However, every step of the way, someone has said, ”don’t buy an expensive WYSIWYG editor, learn to hand code.” Others would say, ”I don’t like what the WYSIWYG editors do to my code.” I never was certain what everybody meant.

Now, I see some hard data. Can these numbers be right? Thanks, Meryl, for pointing this out.
