http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=programmer Programmer: one who writes a computer program
http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=developer Developer: A person who develops real estate, especially by preparing a site for residential or commercial use. Of course if we want to look at developer at a less specific level, it is "one that develops." So, we might say that a programmer is a specialized version of a developer that concentrates on writing computer programs. Therefore, we could argue that a developer of software is no different than a programmer. I personally use the two terms interchangeably. I consider a designer (on the other hand) different than a programmer. A programmer makes things work and concentrates on functionality. A designer concentrates on layout and look and feel and makes things pretty. I think that to be a good web developer, you need to have some ability as both a programmer or a designer. ( My designer skills suck).
