| Difference Between Developer And Programmer. Interview Question by hischoice(m): 3:55pm On Jun 21, 2012 |
Fellow Coders, I have been invited for an interview for the position of a Programmer/Developer in a Lagos based I.T firm. In preparing, there is this function that keeps recursing in my mind: "Hey, you will be asked to explain the difference between a programmer and a developer" Google (surprisingly) needs help on this too. Ever heard/read about this before. Kindly share asap. |

Software Development is a broad term that includes programming but also other tasks related to programming. I think the word "developer" has been coined to replace the term "programmer" to reflect the fact that a modern programmer must do a lot of other things that can't strictly be referred to as "programming". |

A programmer is nothing but a coder , He just codes accordingly to the specification or design . Whereas a developer developes the software/module from understanding the requirement, then design the solution,code it and then test the same. All developers are programmers but not all programmers are developers. |

I do NOT see how in the world this will be an interview question (At least not here in the USA). It has absolutely zero significance to your technical skills, which should be the goal of a technical interview. Then, again, they do things differently over there. |

Bossman: I do NOT see how in the world this will be an interview question (At least not here in the USA). It has absolutely zero significance to your technical skills, which should be the goal of a technical interview. Then, again, they do things differently over there.LOL. And you can see that some of them still don't know the difference. |
