Where did I come close to bragging about my skills? Mentioning that I'm working on a VB app too?
Just curious.

I know a large number of people on this list bounce from web apps, to desktop apps (via VB, C/C++, Delphi, C#, etc.) - myself included. Currently, I help with a web app project while I wait for my client to get back to me regarding the VB app I'm doing for them. Does this make me a developer or a programmer? My thoughts.

But in the grand scheme of things, for demographic purposes we are considered developers, not just MM but to the computer world. Programmers beat us to the programming way back when computers were invented. They got first rights to use that name in generic terms. We don't do what they do. We program web pages/applications, but are considered 'developers'. I'm glad you feel so strongly about it, but I think it doesn't really matter and you definitely shouldn't be losing any sleep over it. That's just me. t ********************************************************************** Tyler M.

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.
