I guess I would agree with Girish on this. What most
people(at least those whom I interact with) think is, programming in
itself is the final goal. In my understanding, programming is the
ability to solve a problem using a computer language. It includes the
design, implementation, tests etc.
But to design, or do any of the above things, we need to have
a basic understanding of the problem domain. Programming, by itself,
doesn't give that. And again, to design, what is necessary is
thinking, based on the domain knowledge that we have. Thanks
