I am a programmer working with .Net environment .I downloaded DevForce Express after seeing it highlighted at http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework. I also went to the website and they claim one can write an application in 15 minutes. Now I want to know the following questions
Will this really help me increase my programming skills and speed
And secondly my friend says I will get more value for writing code myself (because I will learn more) when I change jobs rather than using tools. Is that right

I am new to programming (first job) so guidance and suggestions are always welcome, please

Thanks

Venky

    The only way to learn to program is to write the code yourself. However, that doesnt mean you should write everything in notepad. Visual IDEs can greatly increase your efficiency, and examining the code that an IDE generates can help you learn how it does what it does.

    Thank you for the help

    I have one more question which is what what should i look for while examing the code as you ask me to

    Just try to understand what each line of generated code is doing. That way when you need to do the same thing or something similar, you know where to start.
