      Since I'm neither, I can give you an unbiased answer. A Developer does far more than just program. What your company gives you for a title means little, but if you have to analyze the problem, determine the requirements, allocate tasks among modules or between hardware and software, create the test plan, prepare the user documentation, meet with customers to discuss the project and the requirements, then you're a developer, whether you type code or not. If you receive a set of specs or requirements, have little influence over them, but are expected to deliver a piece of software that meets them, you're a programmer. As one who has done all of these in the past, and hired many others to do the same since, I think quite a lot of people in this profession are both developers and programmers, with different roles becoming dominant depending on the tasks assigned.

      Good observation, also we can consider developers are some what generalists without specializations (not always true, there is always exception), they are expert at finding ways around problems and plugging components together to fulfill a set of requirements programmers,they have a depth of skill in a wide area of expertise and have reasonably good knowledge in certain areas (specialization) What do u think?

          When I worked at Texas Instruments they said that you could not have the title of Software Engineer because in Texas state law says that engineers have to pass state exams and have to be licenses. We were all called Analysts.

                I'm inclined to think that programmers can be trained into their profession, but developers have to grow into the role. The ability to integrate solutions and ideas from many sources, including many other fields, is invaluable and can't be learned in school.

                          Seriously, you should try making your own yoghurt. It's great because you can try out your own variations.

                            I'd be surprised if more than 10 % of us did. Anyhoo, a programmer is the dude who slugs in the machine code to say a shift register, or a plastics injection moulder line - a developer designs applications and may also do the programming for same. I do both, but work in house for a reasonably well sized corporation. (So if I fuck up it is pretty obvious who's fault it is) ((so I don't))

                              I used to back when I was first married (true). Unfortunately, at the divorce, the custardy battle that ensued was no trifle, I couldn't bear to see the look of Delight on the face of my once Angel.
