What does a Java programmer do?

A Java programmer primarily focuses on writing code in Java and implementing functionalities and features of a software application. They work with the Java programming language to translate requirements into working code and ensure it meets the desired specifications.

What is the difference between a programmer and a developer?

A programmer's primary focus is writing code and implementing specific functionalities based on given specifications. They possess strong coding skills and expertise in specific programming languages. In contrast, a developer's scope of work is broader and encompasses multiple stages of the software development lifecycle. They have a comprehensive skill set, including knowledge of software architecture, design patterns, and other related technologies. Developers adopt a more holistic approach to problem-solving and are responsible for coordinating various aspects of the development process.

I learned a lot. Thank you. I liked that we had one program that was developed more and more as the class went on. That helped me to see how the new concepts were being applied, and it was exciting to watch the program become more advanced. - Courtney G.

This course was well written and did a great job organizing each topic. The learning material was concise and to the point on what we needed to focus on to learn each topic. The exercises provided were very helpful, and I liked how the main payroll exercise built upon itself through each topic, so you can see specifically how each topic could change the program and what you would use it for. - Robert P.
