@TheStorm: facepalm.

Someone linked to it in one of the IRC channels I frequent and I couldn't resist posting.
I read it as
div class equals main
span i-d equals marquee
blog! end span end div
(or maybe the last line is
blog! slash span slash div
but it still works Very Happy)

TheStorm, wow Razz

Same here, although I considered that someone might pronounce it as end-span end-div.
"end-span end-div" is still four syllables, though, is it not? Very Happy

Indeed it is, so that particular example works out well several different possible ways.
Art is something that takes practice and talent, as does coding, but that isn't what makes them similar, it is the results that would make it so much alike. The code itself may not look like much, but neither does the paint, pencil, pen, etc. alone. It is the combination that creates the results that we see.

Hey, very nicely put, Sonlen! I like that definition a lot.

In my opinion, that is the definition.

And your welcome to it, since it seems like a concise and well-reasoned definition. Smile
I'm so happy my post was cool enough to need a second page! Very Happy Seems like everyone here votes yes!

I'd go into the database to see who the one person is who voted no, but since I'm sure it was the curmudgeonly Kllrnohj, I won't bother. Very Happy I also award myself (1) point for truthful alliteration.
How do you even say Kllnohj? (spell it out phonetically for me!) Just Joking
IMHO programming isn't fully art if we talk about the software produced by doing it. Software designing would be. Programming by itself could probably be some form of art, though, such as some Weregoose pieces of code, for example. It's a different form of art, though.

I guess in my personal experiences the design and the coding are one and the same; otherwise I'd just be a code monkey, something that I have less than no interest in becoming. Smile If they were not lumped together, I agree with your point.

@adept: I say it "Killer'noj", where the j has the sound of 'j' in 'job' or 'jack' and 'no' is pronounced like refusal.
How can "no" be pronounced like "refusal"?

That's not what I said, I said "'no' as in refusal", not "'no' as in 'refusal'". Note the difference.
Sad I still don't understand...

I said as in the term of refusal, ie, "No", not the literal word "refusal". Razz
Oh.

Good, I'm glad we cleared that up. Shall we now return to the topic at hand, programming vs. art?
