However...This past year I have been doing more and more intricate scripts that go outside the boundries of my old friend DW. I am not a master programmer by any means; just saying that I have been learning more hand coding lately and learning how to actually do it my self...for instance, shopping carts .
Yes I know...I could actually $$BUY$$ an extension for DW,But I Hate not knowing what DW code has been cranking out...and besides...As the name implies, I don't $$$ software.
Seriously though, I find it much more satisfying knowing what the code is actually doing.
And the thing that got me lately...DW uses session() for logins and if you want to use cookies and try to modify the DW's code...its a big head ache; because(in my situation)templates, mod-ing sql queries, and what not.
My point is this:
If I would have hand coded most of my most recent site my self..it would have saved me a big head ache in the end. I think I'm gonna try and just do more of it my self instead of relying on DW so much. Goodbye one button SQL queries and snippets.
By the way, I am a new mem and enjoying it.
