What is the difference between a software developer and a web developer?

tadmilbourn 10 years ago | |

In this research, it's looking at Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Web Developer definition there is http://www.bls.gov/ooh/computer-and-information-technology/w.... Software Developer is http://www.bls.gov/ooh/computer-and-information-technology/s....

The short answer: Back-end as opposed to Front-end

How about someone who does desktop app GUI? It's "front-end" but doesn't involve web.

Very true. No definition is perfect and is going to handle every edge case. But, it's the BLS's attempt to group different job types and provide the data around it.
