this is an age old debate,who is more effective==>a coder or a programmer...
the definitions of these two terms are also are overloaded multiple times.
lets start with these in TSDN.
when should we be called a programmer and when a coder?
and what do you think is the difference between the terms?

A programmer understands the requirement of the application and is thorough with the SRS of the application but a coder is the one involved in the development of the code for the application.

I'm just wondering, people tell me that helping to debug someone elses program is a really good way to learn to understand the language it's programmed in. My question is: from wich point of can someone start to try to help a programmer by debugging or testing a program. If indeed you already need a profound knowledge of the language than how can you learn something about it? except for the fact that you see other

I've been programming in Python for about 2 years. I think it offers the best combination of simplicity and power of any language I have explored. As I write more and larger and complex programs, I need to code better. By better I mean clearer, cleaner, more efficient and maintainable. As the subject states, I want to become a really good Python programmer. I learn most everything from random examples and experience and that's good,...

I recently tried out the Google "top coder" contest, as a C++ coder. I noticed immediately that they expected me to know STL. To which I say, what the fuck?! I may be missing something, but at what point when learning C++ was I supposed to have picked up STL? I ask because at every job I've had, and every job interview for that matter, whenever STL comes up it's not I, but a manager who says effectively yuck, we don't use that crap.

In near future I can face a prospect of writing some stuff in C. Being a C++ programmer, I've got practically no experience in C. I'd be obliged if someone could answer the following questions (from specific to more general): 1. Having looked though some C sources I was horrified by the number of macros. E.g., what could be the purpose of using this: #define CFG_REF(c, f) ((c) -> f) #define SERVER_ADDRESS(c) CFG_REF (c, server_address)

Hi Group, This may seem a odd question in a PHP group, but I think this might be a good place to ask since I am mainly a PHP coder these days that maybe starts with Ruby. Situation: A client of a friend of mine asked me to take over a project done in Ruby. (The original programmer appearantly behaved like an @ss and his client wants to get rid of him.)

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

The idea...
