learning to write code is worth the time. Im a mere noob but I got the greatest sense of acomplishment after finishing my hangman game. Yes I am a long way from making the next halo but the fun in programming is watching yourself grow and develop your skills. I look back at my first game, guess the number, and laugh at how stupidly I coded it. Soon i'll do the same to my hangman game when my skills improve.

Coding is the basis of all software development: it's inescapable as IR said. Just what defines "programming" is a grey area: do you include interpreted (ActionScript, Javascript) or markup (HTML) for example. Operating some OS's from a shell is like programming: just imagine, coding might save you life one day if you happen to get stuck inside a high tech pacific island facility with genetically engineered killer dinosaurs wandering around.

I agree with OpenLoop... I like to write my own code... the only time I deal with the "features" of various IDEs is for interface design, etc.

crazykid48x,
I always look back on my older code and have GREAT laughs Some of it actually confuses the hell out of me.

Rory,
The "inescapable" concept was purely the work of thechristelegacy... I was just muhahahaing at its accuracy... Nice play on Jurassic Park man

As Rory said, everything is based off programming. I would agree to say that HTML, JavaScript, all web langauges are a type of programming. Interpreted languages such as Python or Perl are also programming. Batch files for Windows and BASH or other script files for Linux/Unix are also considered programming.

Coding for me is almost an expresion of art. It's an aquired skill, but once aquired, you can amaze yourself with the gained knoledge. Replying to a comment maid about IDE's I only use them so I don't have to use the command line to compile my code.
