Wysiwyg also has limitations. It'll work fine for run of the mill stuff, but if you want to do something specific, you still need to get your hands dirty.
Learning HTML just felt like busting my ass to put a column in the right place. I was pretty good at it, better than anyone else in the class but I still couldn't get a website to look the way I wanted it too. And coding is just too abstract for me, laying down all this written symbols, letters and numbers referencing everything else. It really is like learning a new language.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobile
Do you want me to read it and critize it?

Man kids these days are spoilt. When I was at university I had to teach myself LaTeX which basically meant I had to write a program to produce a paper in pdf or ps (because it had lots of integrals and other cool maths that look like shit in word). And that was something I had to do in two afternoons as an aside to the actual work I was doing.

SupremeAC said:I don't know who of you was better off though. They 'thaught' us a cad program, but managed to do such a bad job at it, that everyone thought it was absolute shit. Most even learned autocad on their own, just so they wouldn't have to use the one we were given. I had to use it later at my first job though, and man, if used properly, that thing was a beast. Best cad program I've used so far.
Autocad?! Are you an engineer?
SupremeAC said:No, I am your cooler alter ego, the architect.
Ahh architects, the people that want to be an engineer, but that lack the intelligence to do so.
And SolidEdge and Inventor >>>>>> Autocad
Come at me bro!
So are you dutch then sup?

You're just being jealous.
We were taught Arkey at college. You might know it, it's Dutch.

I would have been if this was the 16th century I'm Belgian GG, look at the nice little flag under my avatar.
But didn't you say your site was in Dutch?
Well yes. It's like UK English and American English. That and if I say 'Flemish', it sounds like I'm feeling ill.

Sure!! I am jealous of being unemployed and sitting at home and not contributing anything to society like most architects here.
Wait, I take that back! Being a hobo is my life long dream. Why must I be so damn useful?!

Could you guys please take Noord-Brabant and Limburg?! We don't want them!
gamingeek said:But didn't you say your site was in Dutch?
Come on man. You are English. You guys invented Belgium as a big buffer between France and Germany.
Belgium is not even a country. It is just a big vague border between the Netherlands and France. That is why you have a Dutch speaking part, but with a funny accent, and a French speaking part.
And since France and Germany are BFFs right now, Belgium is completely and utterly useless.
So the only thing you need to know GG is that the Netherlands >> Belgium
And Civil Engineering is the black sheep of Engineering. Well there is Technical Accounting, but we all pretend that it does not exist.
Having been taught the bare basics of web editing during my studies, and figuring that anyone who's someone these days nees a website, I made my first website to introduce yours truely 3 to 4 years ago. I had all this cool idea's about how it should be, fading in here, out there, scrolling, mouseovering, err... 'div'ing, and whatnot. Suffice to say that both the lack of time and skill killed much of what I had in mind.
But over time, and more so the last year, the need to update my website has arosen. I mean really, what's the point in having a website if it doesn't show any of your works? So after a few false starts in which I simply couldn't spend the time re-learning webcoding and searching the web for what I needed, I finally pulled through in the last couple of weeks. I even managed to realize my vision on how I wanted to present my works. It has some ancient javascript in there, drowned out by the rest of the sloppy coding, but it gets the job done. So yeah, without further ado: www.yvt.be . It's in dutch, so it won't make sense to the lot of you, but hey, I don't know anyone that'd be able to appreciate/scrutinize my hard work. Next up: getting the thing to actually show up on google when you search for my name.
