Correct..Using an IDE for coloring, matching, highlighting okay. But using an IDE such as DreamWeaver and rely on its coding structure and when asked to hand code, wonder what the syntax of the mysql query statement should be, is not very welcoming. If this is the case, they cannot properly debug a code written by someone.
You either generally know the syntax of a particular programming language or you don't. There's nothing wrong with looking up the details of a particular function. Sometimes when I'm really busy, I find its easier to look up the details of a function than change my mental focus or train of thought. When that happens, I usually have a favorite book or website that details the language. Also, you don't need a fancy IDE for syntax coloring/matching/highlighting. A very simple text editor tends to be alot faster and easier to use.
what is your opinion?
