Ask DN: Should I learn to code?

    Learn to understand what it takes to make your design work. When designing, I'm already thinking about what html/css/js would be required to make it work. Your developers will thank you. ;)

      I do already think about the development side, how things would work and knowing the limitations of design when designing for web but it's more the fact that I'd be able to put that into practice myself instead of having a 'general knowledge' of the syntax.

      Thanks for your advice :)

        It's actually a bit strange that designers are expected to develop aswell. You don't walk into a bakery and ask them for a pound of meat. They're both in the food business but it's a whole different craft :')
