Too often today, developers find themselves depend on GUI ASP developing tools,
like DrumBeat or VisualInderDev. These development tools are not bad, but they
can be detrimental if you do not know how to do what you are doing without
the GUI tool!
Why is this bad? Well, let's say that one time you don't have your GUI tool, and
something goes wrong? You're up the creek! Or perhaps your GUI tool of choice cannot
cut the mustard for a particular thing you need done. If you've become so reliant
on the tool, you would not know how to accomplish the task ahead.
It's always been my opinion that beginning ASP developers should stay as far
away from GUI tools until they have the basics mastered. That means use Notepad!
