Systems vs Application development
-
A recent job opening said they wanted systems development exp rather that application development. Can someone clarify the differences for me? Josh Knox that-guy.net
"Ms-Word" is an application Software whereas “Scan disk” is System Software. Now you can understand the difference?:)

I see what Manikandan was saying. I was under the impression however, that a systems developer develops 'systems' in the sense of many different apps and files working together to solve a solution. I.e. A company wanting a factory stock computer 'system', the system would include an app and database of an inventory, then a stock in/out app. Then an intranet may need to be developed and maybe some webservices. Also a small app may be needed by the sales dept. for checking order feasiblilty. THis is what i assume to be the sole of systems developers. App devs simply make apps to perform a single function regardless of other apps and information. I may be (and prolly am) wrong, but this is what comes to my mind.

Well what the other two guys said could both be true, but I would think the second one is probably more feasible. You get Function Developers, Class Developers, Namespace Developers, Application Developers and System Developers. (well, not really, but this is just an illustration.) So a function developer just develops individual functions. The class guy puts them together into working classes while the namespace guy puts the classes together. Eventually you end up with an application which is put together by an Application developer. The systems developer basically thinks about how various apps work together and how another new app can be integrated into the existing structure created by the other apps.

systems = boring
Garbage collection, making life better - for weenies!
Image Processing - now with extra cess.

Well , you have the dull app job and the real fun of programming threads, ipc mechanisms , protocols and hardware and byte stuff ! Come back such lovely times :(( YEAH ! System Programming RULES ! :-D Cheers, Joao Vaz A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person - Natalie Portman (Padme/Amidala of Star Wars)

That is the single most lucid definition of the two terms I've heard in 20+ years of programming:-) I Drowned Schroedinger's Stupid Cat!
