Ask yourself.. * Do I like and respect web standards? * Do they help improve my work? * Do they help me communicate with other webmasters/designers/whatevers? * Would I -ever- have thought css based designs would be a lot more effective and smaller in size than equivalent html with tables? * Would I -ever- have foreseen the benefits of XML when it came out? * Would I now be able to do anything, web-design wise, which doesn't involve a little xml, and a lot of css? * Does InI have anything to win for himself in openning such a thread and risking misunderstandings? And when you're done with these questions. Transpose them to UML and the coding world. Why do you think the WHOLE industry has adopted a set of rules defined over 700 pages? Do you think I am the only advocate of UML? just fucking google it. ------------------------------------- @Grumble, if you had told me "I am lazy and I don't give a fuck about spending the time to help make an Asylum spec / tech doc/ plan", ok, that would be fine. You seem to care, but only enough to misunderstand and get emotional and agressive. @TwoD, boy, I am not assuming UML would make things better, I can't forecast anything witout a plan, but it DOES make things a lot better wherever it hasn't been used previously, always. As I wasn't ASSUMING the 3d grid thing would make collision detections faster. If you get to implementing that option, let me "know", but I already know. It has become a standard because one can blindly rely on it, it is the result of years of coding experience of the development industry, it's not MY invention, it's impact is not MY invention and is independent of myself and my own experience. I KNOW it will improve things because it is it's purpose, it is the de-facto modelling standard nowadays for oop, databases, and many other ares. ------------------------------------- Just exactly as you now all know that a css based design WILL be more effective than the css-less equivalent. ...Now, quite frankly, I've said it all. UML is basically common sense, but when you lay it out, THE FACT of laying it out helps. Keeping your common sense in your cerebellum is the place where it is likely to be less useful: putting it on paper makes it ten times more effective. The Doc had a page about sketching and being able to "have an overview" before doing things, see if you can find it at http://www.ozones.com Weadah and DG start by laying out the "big picture" and then digging into details. A PLAN, and THEN the actual work. ALL webdesigners here use web standards. A PLAN and a sheer understanding of standards, and THEN the actual work. Slime, when doing his js raytracer, had simply laid out the maths involved in raytracing as OBJECTS, he had intuitively laid out a typically correct object orientend program. He had intuitively modelled reality through steps very similar to a UML approach. In the Asylum, possible/probable results of making the plan standards compliant would be a constant response time, all the time, and 99.9% reliability instead of 95, a smaller - more readable code, optimal load on all involved servers, less bugs, easier maintenance, easier upgrades (the trout thing), easier migrations (should a new db system be selected for instance), easier or automated maintenance (an auto-sink, or mod-bot, call it what you want).
