HTML Code or NOT?

These days, there are several programs that can help you expertly design webpages. It is still important, however, for web designers to know HTML code. First of all, someone has to design the designing programs in the first place!
Also, it is important to know the idea behind what you are doing. For example, if you are using a calculator for a math class, you should know the basic idea behind what the calculator is doing. The same goes for designing websites. Even if you have sophistocated software to create the code for you, you should still know the principle behind it.
Another reason to know the basic code is if there is a glitch in the programming software. It might be necessary to change the HTML code by hand to get the type of result you want for your website.
It's always important to know the basics behind the shortcuts!! Otherwise it's kind of cheating! :)
