AMX did indeed require me to write code on a regular basis. they never got any of their wizards or shortcut suites working correctly. But still. I reused blocks of code on a regular basis.
Never dealt with AMX so if it can't do what I am saying then just pretend.
With those blocks of code did you ever take those blocks and put them in a library then just do a function call?
That is really all a module is in Crestron it is just the instead of using Machine Code, or OOP they use a very visual system.
Just because SIMPL isn't written like C# doesn't mean it isn't programming.
Today SO much code is available in libraries and reused over and over again the idea of WHAT programming is has changed.
A video game developer that builds its own engine and then has point and click interface with context menus to add items, change stats, create objects. Do you call that configuring and not programming?
Once the engine/OS etc is built a lot of the programming is done in a more visual way.
