"Although it's possible to be a web designer, or an art director for the web, my opinion is that a deeper appreciation of the medium can only be achieved by having an understanding of code, even it's relatively basic. It's not just about knowing what you can create and what you can't: front-end code is playing an increasingly important role as a design tool, be it for designing 'in the browser' or adapting designs to suit multiple browser widths." Elliot Jay Stocks mercredi, 1 février 12
