> whats the difference? You'll probably get lots of disparate answers to this question.
I've heard people use the difference to indicate that a "developer" does planning and architectural design work whereas a "programmer" just does programming and makes sure an application achieves the features requested in the functional specification, without regard to wholistic questions about what the application is for or who will use it. Which is usually what I intend to imply when I tell people I'm a developer (that is, that I do more than just programming). I've also seen or heard people make the distinction that a "programmer" is someone who works with traditional ( usually compiled ) languages like C/C++ and Java whereas a "developer" just "toys with web scripts and other interpreted stuff"... This isn't a distinction I much care for, because imho it encourages a gratuitous continued antagonism between the "old-school" and the new, but I've heard it used.
