i'm just giving you shit. :)
but,
the thing is, though, that programming and markup is about knowing more than syntax.
standards, accessibility and semantics are concepts and ideals about proper development and use of the technologies at hand. syntax is only a fraction of the whole.
anyone can memorize what php functions exist, or what all the xhtml attributes mean. but, it does you know good if you don't understand the reasons behind using them.
i could teach a monkey to pound html out on the keyboard and have a piece of software 'validate' it. but, it doesn't mean he could build a usable product.
i'm a firm believer that if you want to be a web developer, then you have to actually study the language. independent from any ide or platform.
basically, don't learn dreamweaver, learn xhtml and use dreamweaver if you like it.
hell, i use vi/vim because i think it's easier.
there is my sermon for today.
