Why Code Monkey?
When I tell people I much prefer to open notepad and start typing code rather than using a tool such as Dreamweaver I often get a very bizzare look. I do see the benefits of using Dreamweaver or other GUI design tools but I seem to get much more satisfaction knowing all the code, layout of the code and content is my own. Its not that this is not true from sites created in Dreamweaver type software, it just feels different. I am still at an early age of my web design career and Dreamweaver will probably end up being my tool of choice further down the line, saying that I will spend most of my time in the code only view. I think an inspiration for my wanting to code comes from being a bit of a geek and can think of nothing cooler than being able to hack a computer at command link (just like in the movies). That and the inspiration this video give me.
The video is a song by Jonathan Coulton, once upon a time a software programmer and now muscian and Internet Superstar. Seen as I don”t have a musical bone in my body I guess I best learn to code faster.
