pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Developer, Coder or Programmer (11th Feb 08 at 6:27pm UTC) | | Which of those 3 terms do you use to describe yourself. All 3 are very similar and most wouldn't consider there to be any differences between them but I think otherwise. So which do you think best describes what you do and why?
I would class myself as a developer as I spend a lot of time developing entire systems from start to finish and tend to get involved in every stage of the building process right from design to implementation. I know I'm definitely not a programmer since that tends to be more associated with writing executable programs which is something I know nothing about. | |

pmvForum | | Re: Developer, Coder or Programmer (11th Feb 08 at 6:39pm UTC) | | I tend to vary ...
Most people know me as a coder, coding websites, codes etc... However I used to be rather into my programming, granted only in VB..
Never thought of myself as a developer. | |

pmwww | | Re: Developer, Coder or Programmer (11th Feb 08 at 8:32pm UTC) | | I would consider myself to be all of the above. 
I like to code small things as add-ons to existing software, so that would be where I am merely a coder.
However, I also like to develop big projects that require weeks, or even months, of work. This would be where I am a developer.
As for programmer, I know a few programming languages, and especially like making 2d games. I don't really have an interest in 3d game design, as that would be more work than fun. | |

pmwwwskypeaimgtalk | | Re: Developer, Coder or Programmer (12th Feb 08 at 4:04am UTC) | | Depends on what I'm doing.
If I'm doing anything server side, I'm a programmer. If I'm doing anything client side, it's generally a coder.
When I'm doing both, I'm a developer.

In the future, I plan to get much more serious and to learn a lot more. What I want to be is a programmer, although I don't know for what yet. I still have lots of time to decide.  | |
