I always read “web designer”, “web developer”, and “web programmer”, but don’t understand the difference between them.
What is the difference? An example would be appreciated.
In my experience people use the designer label when they are talking about people who do front-end design — graphics, user interface, etc and programmer/developer when talking about people who do back-end coding and, perhaps, front-end work as well. Other than the wording I don’t consider there to be much difference between developer and programmer, though some may argue that a developer takes a role in more than just writing code. I would argue that all developer/programmers do this, but just to a greater or lesser extent.
FWIW — I call myself a software developer who specialize in web applications. I usually do the whole gamut from UI design to backend implementation and testing.
