 Many people may not be able to distinguish between what is a developer and programmer in the IT world.  In fact, there are actually many fundamental differences between developers and programmers.

 People who do not know these two jobs will think that developers and programmers work together to create applications.

 In the IT world itself, there are many different jobs or positions that are misinterpreted or generalized by ordinary people who don't really understand the difference.  Then what is the underlying difference between a developer and a programmer?  Check out the explanation below.

 What is Developer?

 Developer and Programmer Difference

 What is Developer?  Developer is a job that is one level above programmer.  A developer can be defined as a more trained programmer, not only understanding programming languages, but also being able to build a system.

 The difference between developers and programmers is that developers are usually experienced enough to solve problems and also have structured and disciplined work.  The following are the duties of a developer, which we demonstrate as a web developer, including:

 Designing Efficient Code

 Designing the Web with standard HTML code

 To produce an attractive web, it is necessary to work closely with web designers and programming departments

 Conducting intense communication with partners in order to maintain a good relationship, which aims to make the website more known.  The distribution of content is also getting wider.

•  Classification of various software programs and also software maintenance.

•  Prepare a contingency plan in case the website goes down or gets hacked.

•  Perform maintenance or upgrade websites that have been created.

•  Managing the team, dividing the work portion in a website creation project.

 What is a Programmer?

 Programmer is a person's job with the expertise to understand programming languages ​​in a computer system.  Usually a programmer comes from a major in computer science or informatics while pursuing undergraduate studies.

 Or if you don't study at university, a programmer comes from a vocational school that focuses on informatics, a person who learns from courses, or is self-taught to master programming languages.

 There are many programming languages ​​to choose from if you are studying as a programmer, including Java, PHP, C, C++, Pascal, Python and others.

 Prospective programmers will learn everything, before finally focusing on one programming language that he is most proficient in.

 The following are some of the duties of a programmer, including:

 Reviewing needs.  A programmer must define requirements before making an application.  So that the application created will be right on target and users can be satisfied using it.

 Design the appearance of the program.  The display of the program is the responsibility of a programmer.  The programmer is in charge of sketching the application flow and graphics and flowcharts

 Write program code.  After designing the appearance of the program, the programmer must then write the program code.  Usually programmers have mastered a certain programming language so they can do this.

 Debug programs.  Programmers can debug the applications they designed, namely checking whether there is damage or interference in the application.  If there is an error, the programmer can change or evaluate the programming language that has been written.

 Perform program testing.  This is the final stage of a programmer's task after creating an application.  The program testing phase before the program is released, so that the benefits of a program can be known to its users.

 Difference between programmer and developer

 After knowing the meaning of each of the developers and programmers.  Then you have understood the basic difference between developer and programmer.  Developers can be understood as people who compose the structure in developing an application.

 While programmers are people who only focus on writing code from an application program.  In terms of capacity alone, developers can be said to be greater than programmers.

 A programmer works under the direction of a developer to design a program or application.

 Other IT-related jobs

 Difference of Developer and Programmer

 Apart from Developers and Programmers, there are many other types of jobs that are also closely related to IT, including:

 1. Engineer

 An engineer is someone who is assigned to maintain and maintain the system.  For example, in an office, the engineer is tasked with ensuring that the existing system runs well without interruption.

 If there is a disturbance or error, it is the engineer's job to make improvements to the existing system.

 2. Frontend

 Someone who works on the front end is someone who is in charge of the system that is on the front end.  This means that the system can be felt by users directly in a company.

 People who work at the front end must understand and understand the user interface and user experience because in their work, they must provide easy formulas for users of an application.

 Some of the Frontend sub-sections include Frontend Engineer, Frontend Developer, Android Developer, iOS Developer, User Interface/User Experience (UI/UX) Designer, Mobile Developer and Web Designer.

3.Backend

 The opposite of the frontend, the backend is everything that is behind.  The point is the admin section which has various calculations and logic that refers to analysis.

 The backend is also responsible for security, for example when there is a hacking case, then they are in charge of preventing and overcoming the incident.  Data efficiency and speed are the main focus of people working on the backend.

 Some of the backend sub-sections include Backend Developer, Backend Engineer, API Engineer, API Developer, Database Engineer and Integration Engineer.

 The difference between a developer and a programmer is quite basic when viewed from the scope of work and responsibilities.  Hopefully by knowing this, you can differentiate between a developer and a programmer so that you don't generalize again.
