I think a developer is one who takes a concept and produces a functioning
application with all that makes it such. A programmer on the other hand is
given specific tasks and writes the code to fulfil that task. A programmer
would be given a task such as write this block to accomplish this function
while a developer would be involved in writing an application from end to
end with all the functionality included. Developers I think typically work
on projects from end to end.

I agree with Michael. If you 'develop' an application that involves
stuff like conditional branching, variables blah blah you are
programming. Even a DOS batch file could be considered programming,
although the vast majority of them were just line by line command files.
The batch file 'language' was a programming language. CFML is a
programming language. To say otherwise is a semantic argument that
doesn't belong anywhere but a classroom.
P.s. I'm wearing asbestos underwear... ;D

If you consider yourself a programmer because you write cfml then you're
saying cfml is a programming language?

In MMs mind, a programmer is one who uses a compiled language like Java
or
C++. A developer is someone who uses a scripting language like CF. This
is a
totally artificial distinction and one I reject on every level. I
program.
So do you. We're programmers.
whats the difference?
