obtained along with anaylsis and programming skills.
These were the times of the mainframe and mini computers. Alas, these times have passed and we now find ourselfs in a position of a more
'open technology' (open to all including amatures and abusers ). What exactly does this entail, is has had a side effect of a little knowledge doing a lot of harm. The web design and development market is flooded with amatures posing as professional IT personnel. Try searching for a web design or developer, where their own site is not an edited base template, ask them what security measures they use for a content managed system? Or, what where
the clients initial requirements against what the clients actually required, usually two totally different set of requirements. This leads on to another critisim.
Propective clients of web designers/developers are easily memorized with the use of animations in a web site, many designers/developers in the market place take advantage of this and design flashy sites that look great, but do
not sale their clients product of service. Rather they are selling themselfs.Using too many distractions on web page takes the focus of the web page away from the actual targeted focus, the product. The focus in marketing any
product or service should be targeted at such. That is not saying that there is no place for anaimation, of course there is, the proper use of animation can greatly increase the prospective market share; a picture says a 1000
words. This is only one area that has to be professionally approached.
So what of the future, as long as companies produce code generation software, we are going to live with an amature approach to computing with all that that entails, it has to be left up to the prospective clients of reputable web designers/developers to learn the old fashoined way, by experince, before any change in the direction of the industry can be predicted.
On closing, I wish all the reputable web designers/developers out there all the success in the future.
