Which of these is the right term to use in addressing a sofware programmer?

What is the different between a Software Engineering, Software Developer and Sofware Programmer

a Software Engineer is a person who can develop a software Engine
viz
a) Operating Systems
b) Database Engines
c) Programming language compilers, parsers
d) Interfaces
e) object libraries for graphics, drive devices etc
f) antivirus etc

a software developer is more or less like a project person, a database person who can convert business processes
into software
a) accounting systems
b) Point-of-sales
c) microfinance application
d) web application
e) etc

a software programmer is anybody that can write code in any programming language. More like a
builder in the heirarchy. So a developer or engineer can hire programmers to do certain things

that's good, i love the definitions. even if i have already gotten the answer

nice answer

that's a stupid answer you gave.

computer scientist do ponder about:

operating systems,
compilers
etc.

software engineers
--------
architect and engineers system applying engineering principles to the process
of software development.
software engineers also double as developers.
a developer who has read enough books on software engineering techniques,
e.g design patterns, design methodologies etc.
software engineering is very practical as well as theoretiical
as opposed to pure computer science
some graduates of computer science can't even write simple software
but give them maths problems they'll blow it away for you.
a software engineer worth his salt aint so.
already is acquiring the skin of a software engineer

s t . u . p - i . d answer NOT SILL Y ANSWER .

THE word is DEVELOPER -- get it.

a developer is not a programmer strictly per se.

a DEVELOPER can take an idea -- and give life and form to the smokey concept.
he can take facebook from idea to website
and so on.
Developers can go the whole nine yards in the software creation process.
conceive idea ---> design/architect it ---> decide which programming langauge to use --> code it --> debug /test it --->
document the API's ---> etc

A programmer (strict types )

receive schema and diagrams about the concept --> are told what language to use --->
code the system up ---> submit to testers and q and a . --> sign off .

see the difference.
though sometimes the names are used interchangeably.
