I'm a graphic designer by training and by trade. In 1998, I co-founded a small company where I took care of all the design/publishing. After a few months we decided that we needed a website and I was the one who had to build it. I was scared to death. The whole "coding" stuff seemed so freaking abstract to me… But I did it, with the help of Dreamweaver 3's wysiwig mode because I didn't want to become crazy. But one day, we saw a cool trick on some website (and I can't remember which trick or which site) that we wanted to have on our site. It was a JS trick and I had to take a dive into that website's code, copy their JS function and adapt it to our needs. It was surprisingly easy and it made me understand that it was actually very close to how I did my design/layout. After that, my life has been a neverending downward spiral for me.
