In Part 7 we went over the pros and cons of delegation, so hopefully by now you’ve decided if you want to code yourself or hire someone else. There’s of course, different scenarios to consider:
1) The designer who codes using generators

Examples of generators include:
Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
SiteGrinder 2
2) The designer who outsources code

3) The beginner coder
Of course, you can always try to hit the books and learn how to do it yourself.
