@mollydotcom As a developer understanding the target persona is crucial for my decision making.
@mollydotcom As a designer, knowing code helps me gut-check my decisions or know when I need to talk with a developer.
@mollydotcom I wrote a blog post on this a while back: joefiorini.com/entries/dev-a…
@mollydotcom Yes and yes. The more you know the more effective you can be! You don't have to be an expert- but you should have an idea...
@mollydotcom yes! web designers definitely need to know code to make the most of design
@mollydotcom I feel one of my strengths is being able to work with the designer on what makes a site easy to use
@mollydotcom I wouldn’t consider someone a ‘web designer’ if they can’t code their own designs. just a designer.
