Hi, Sun in its Java certifications defines a Programmer who knows the Java language and a Developer who is able to use the language to build software in a proper way:
Programmer: "This foundation certification is for programmers interested in demonstrating proficiency in the fundamentals of the Java programming language. To achieve this certification, candidates must successfully complete one exam." http://www.sun.com/training/certification/java/scjp.xml Developer: "This performance-based certification is for developers interested in demonstrating advanced proficiency in the Java programming language using the Java SE. To achieve this certification, candidates must successfully complete two elements: a programming assignment and an essay exam. Prior to attempting certification, candidates must be certified as a Sun Certified Programmer (SCJP), any edition. It is not necessary to be a Sun Certified Java Associate prior to taking this exam." http://www.sun.com/training/certification/java/scjd.xml This puts a Developer in a little bit higher position than a Developer. I personally agree with Kfir and call myself Software Engineer.
