You actually meant various medias right, ipohchai?

Anyway, I believe it’s equally important for a designer to understand the limitations of a system than to propose something obscure and just think “it’s the programmers problem”.

I’ve just step into web application programming at my work place.
although I have never been coding for a industrial webapps but I have been coding extensively on website and pbbg.
I think in order to become creative and able to pull out those umph! result, one need to expose him/herself to various system

I find it hard to bridge both world. I find it hard to do designs when I’m a programmer. Even after I’ve tried hard to do it, the result is just the normal plain type (without the wow effect).

Or probably I’m not creative enough!

Actually i plan to be a bridge between the 2 worlds. Someone who understands how designers think/do things and how the programmers think/do things.

This of course means i won’t be able to be some guru in certain programming languages but it will allow me to manage teams and projects much more easily

Btw, programming isn’t just logic… there’s alot of creativity in there. Its just a different sort of creativity

Hey Tien Soon,

Thanks for sharing your experience. I forgot about Javascript so thanks for the reminder too. Anyway, of course there’s a difference in being a very good software engineer/programmer.

However, I’ve noticed that not everyone can do the best of both things. With the fast evolution happening on the Internet, rarely nowadays you see a single person who has the best of both worlds.

That’s why today, he is either a professional designer or a logical programmer.
