Does all the webmasters @ DP know coding?

Do you know coding or have any programming knowledge or do you just rely on ready to go scripts and hire people for modifications?

I myself still learning ABC of coding... what about you?

 

No i don't know coding

I pay $$$$$$$ to hire people
Will learn soon.

 

I would say your bigger earners here do most everything themselves... from hosting to coding

 

I know just enough about coding to get in trouble trying to do it. I tend to rely on the most wonderful open source community for their expertise, then tweek things to do what I need rather than fight to get the whole thing working all by myself. Did that in the 80's and got over it loooong ago. ::shudders at horrible flashback of trying to find bugs in a program at 5am:: I can, when in a massive bind and unable to find what I need, figure out how to do things on my own, but I hate to have to and would never do it for a living.

 

I know PHP & MySQL, even written a few apps once. I got started with websites by hosting them on my own server so I can run my own dedicated server quite well also.

Problem is finding the time to do it all AND promoting your own sites while coding every new idea you think of from scratch! So sometimes I cheat and hire someone out or use a premade script and hack it to death

 

I know no coding.

I manage to pick up HTML from reading source code of pages I liked over the last few years. I have never taken a programming course of any kind, and I regret it. In fact, I was just thinking today that I may be at too much of a disadvantage to really try and make a go of it as my full time career without some real knowledge behind me.

 

Ive been learning PERL for about 4 or 5 years now and I LOVE IT! 100% self taught and have put togetehr some pretty kicks ass apps

 

i know ASP and a little bit of PHP...

 

I know only HTML lol

 

a little coding about html css xhtml php and mysql

 

Some? Ya Right...




So do you guys thing a "Suck"sessfull webmaster should know coding? I mean is it necessary to be a good webmaster?

 

Dont know about necessary but sure is an asset

 

Going to buy php ebook...

now typing www.amazon.com

page loading...

{search} Php book....

 

Webpage designing, Htmls, CSS and Flash Animation. I take my friends help for PHP programming.

 

html, CSS, asp.net, and some javascript. I think its not really necessary to know programming, but its nice to have the knowledge, at least html and css to fix common errors that might happen in your sites.

 

I know a little makeshift coding, just enough to help me with my websites.

 

looks like not very many webmaster know coding... all are rookies as far as coding is concerned

 

Most of the entrepreneurs wont be knowing much of coding, even if they do, they wont code themselves.

I personally don't have much time for coding, i have permanent employees at my office to do that.

 

I last wrote anything serious in sinclair Basic, or machine code, and that was 1983ish !
I DO however understand fully the process, and how systems work, and to this end can give clear instruction to those who do my coding as to what I want .

I am a firm believer in the idea that to run a business, you do not have to be able to do everything yourself, but you MUST have a compelte understanding of each element. I am a businessman, Salesman, marketer at the core, running a business with those skills is a walk in the park.

I CAN hack php around to get things working, I can dive into html and work things out, but it simply isn't worth my time to do it. My time is better spent paying someone else to do that, while I concentrate on doing what I do.
