Computers & Technology > Software & Web Development Declaring war on WYSIWYG

1 of 3

Ah, the irony of WYSIWYG. It stands for "What You See Is What You Get," and ironically that is rarely the case. There are two general types of editors for web pages. First, there's the code editor.

Thank you. It is a powerful phrase that doesn't cost anything to say but can mean a world of difference when looking for a job. While we may remember to say that phrase many times during our interviews, we may forget to send it in writing afterwards. Thank you letters are what will get you the job.

I had a few people recommend just use Open Office (actually they meant OpenOffice.org aka OOo, but lets not split hairs too much).I've been forced to use this piece of crap at work since I began working there since it's the only thing that does what I need to do (presentations and such) that we have in the office, is free and...
