SandmanYou are welcome to that opinion.

You have to be able to understand programming but not not necessarily to the point of being able to do much of it.
It seems, from another post, that when you say "programming", you mean "computing" which is a completely different word meaning something completely different.
Yes, I was initially following along with Floyd's terminology before I decided I should expnd the term to computing.
Ok, so you just used the wrong word. An honest mistake.SandmanEric StevensSandman
That wasn't my claim. If you go back far enough you will find I said "He has to understand what programming is all about".

So what's the argument about?
"That wasn't my claim".SandmanA race car driver doesn't need to know the first thing about car mechanics (but it's a fair bet that many do) in order to race the car.Eric Stevens
All the succesful ones have engineering skills which help them get the best out of their cars.
Of course not.
Because you didn't say the architect could do well to understand the basics of computing.SandmanEric StevensSandmanThis is a lot more true - the programmer would do well to understand the basics of arhitecture (instead of the otehr way around) to better build solutions for hus collegues. And, interestingly, this is usually how it's done.Eric Stevens
Goodness gracious. Do yo see the programmer in command?
Huh? Your question doesn't seem to be related to the sentence it followed.
You seem to have the programmer leading the way.
What part of the sentence made it "seem" that way, Eric. The part where the programmer would do well to understand the basics of architecture to better build solutions for his collegues? How do you arrivbe at the conclusion that I meant that the "programmer leads the way"??
Why bother arguing?SandmanThis is what Floyd said:Floyd L. Davidson 12/01/2013 <87k3fpl6cb.fld@apaflo.com>"I'll point out that for at least 50 years every engineer has been taking programming courses. You want to be an architech, you learn programming. You want to design bridges, you learn programming.#And nospam's followup question:nospam 12/01/2013 <301120132109061770%nospam@nospam.invalid>"architects take programming courses?? what apps have they written?"This is where you joined in. No one challanged Floyd's claim that engineers take programming courses.Eric Stevens
I was astonished at nospam's narrow view of architects writing apps.
...something you've yet to offer any conclusive counter argument for. And indeed - you are now agreeing with me that architects doesn't write apps.
Well, someone has to understand something about the aother parties role. My opinion is that the architect is the creative person and has the responsibility to know how to employ the tools he is using.SandmanEric StevensEric StevensSandman
And people who understand the programming of computers are that much more succesful.
To some extent, that's quite true. But we're discussion your claim that an architext "have to" understand programming (see above). My claim is that no - the don't "have to" understand the first thing about programming.
Are you instead suggesting that the programmer has to understand architecture?
Nope. If I were, I would have said that. And since I didn't, I can't see why you're asking this question.
Haw!SandmanEric StevensEric StevensSandman
You are joking. Creating that lot required a zillion scripts.
Any support for this claim? And also - any support for the implication that those supposed "zillions" of scripts were written by architects?
Are you suggesting that you can buy a package which will do it all for you?
Absolutely.
By golly yes.Eric StevensSandman
Well, maybe Catia could, but I can't think of anything else (that's not to say there isn't anything). But even making Catia do the job would require a very considerable number of scripts.
You're dodging the question. You should now have provided support for your claims that:
1. A "zillion" scripts were used by the architects in the making of the designs in that link
2. That those scripts were made by the architects themselves.They would certainly have spelled out what they wanted to do and what tools they wanted to use.
Then tell us. --SandmanEric StevensEric StevensSandman
The question is, who wrote them and with what end in mind?
If you don't know, why would you use the link as an example for your position?
I have a fairly good idea. The question is, do you?
Absolutely.
