    <p>hmm...interesting question...</p> <p>For me, I'm not a designer per se, but in the applications I've done, I have learned a lot of CSS, and not just because I want a better visual desing but because some things have to be placed correctly or function in some visual way that makes better usability.</p> <p>I would love to NOT spend sometimes that much time in CSS and such...but unfortunately there are DAYS in which I spend a whole afternoon trying to solve a little visual problem ( this is because of IE /FF / Chrome/ opera/ safari ) differences, usually the one that gives more problems as we all know is IE...but sadly ...as we all know too, it's the one that's typically used by the normal user...so...I SPEND A LOT OF TIME, trying to get things to work the way I need in just one CSS sheet and without trying to make the exceptions for every browser...I know that's faster, but for quality purposes...as far as I know, there's usually a nice way to put everything in just 1 css sheet and work for at least IE6+ and FF3.6+ ..usually what works in FF follows for the others ....</p> <p>So...how much time?....mmm...I don't have a specific percentage....but it is a loooot of time, you can't just escape working with visual objects just at one programming language level...at least for web apps, I find it has been a very good thing as a programmer to know my way around CSS ( +javascript +html +php) usually they all play in the same field, sooo, the better you understand each, the easier it is to solve the problems you find...or the more complex stuff you wanna create...but you have to sit and read and try and read and so and so....</p> <p>But of course, there are a lot of programmers which do not touch a lot of css, mmmm...and there's people that isn't so interested in the design part, so you gotta care for it too, you gotta care for the visual parts..., it's very fun to learn the CSS, it's not that difficult really..but seen it is soo unperfect because of the browsers can be frustrating =S...</p> <p>But again!..as programmers...in my case, we have people in the "design" department...but as far as I've known for a lot of designers...their career wasn't programming logic and such, so usually they don't get their hands so dirty in the programming area...even if it is just as simple as CSS...so that's why you as a programmer have to learn it too and spend some good time to get the results you need....</p>
