Web development vs programming?

[Ashu]

Which one is harder in your opinion?
In my opinion Web development is harder.

That is because you (mostly) need to be able to do computer programming to do web development and you have additional requirements like knowing how your environment works. how database works, how to deal with security and how to design user experience. Not to mention good aesthetics.

Now if you ask if web development or game development is easier, than web development is easier.

Basically computer programming is used everywhere in IT in one form or another. What makes it harder or easier are all additional dependencies you need to deal with. Like mathematics and algorithmic with game programming.

At the same time even if web development has quite well defined goal, it is still very broad subject. There can be very difficult web development (like Photoshop inside a browser) which will be much harder than most of standard stuff you will ever do. And there can be way easier like static sites which are elementary school projects in this days.

Hi, your topic is confusing.
It should be which one is more difficult between "web design" and "web development".
Back to the question, I am a full stack web developer (Front end and back end). I don't think one is more difficult than the other. I only think you have to go for one that suits you and not necessarily the two.
A front end developer is one that have a graphical imagination of how the user interface should be. Such developers code using HTML/HTML5 , CSS/CSS3, JavaScript and so on. Some refer to them as web designers.
While a back-end developer deals with the part that can be seen by the user. They make use of PHP, JavaScript, Python and so on. You might come across jquery, nodejs, angular, react and the likes.
So, it doesn't matter. I've come across people that are really good at coding but don't know the user imagination hence they are not really good at web design, instead, they prefer web development.
You can ask me questions related to this topic. I'm willing to reply

Web developer writes code for the web and a programmer writes code for desktop software or applications. Overall If you can write programs (small chunks of code to get some logical result), then you are a programmer.

Both web development and programming is important in field if you want to web development then you also need to learn programming as well and programming is important in information technology field and necessary to learn.

They are the same in my own opinion, both web programmer and web developers write codes for programs and software. What you should have asked is what is the difference between web designers and web developers.

That is on the grounds that you (generally) should have the option to do PC programming to do web advancement and you have extra necessities like realizing how your current circumstance functions. how information base functions, how to manage security and how to plan client experience. Also great feel. Presently on the off chance that you inquire as to whether web improvement or game advancement is simpler, than web improvement is simpler.

Fundamentally PC writing computer programs is utilized wherever in IT in some structure. What makes it harder or simpler are all extra conditions you require to manage. Like arithmetic and algorithmic with game programming.

They are both fantastic occupations leading to the future because of technology. It is an opportunity that will guarantee that one will have a good life in years to come. For me i have a passion for programming and writing codes in unknown languages.

To me both are similar although Web Development is generally easier to get started with as the tools and techniques are not complicated to learn. Software Development requires an in-depth understanding of tools, methodologies, and philosophies that govern good software.

Both web design and programming goes hand in hand, if you want to design a website, you will use code, and programming is the use of code to build something... So we can say you use programming in web design hence the can't be compared.

 

[Bethel Victor]

Both play a very important role in this new age, the web developers do more of website creation and website design but the programmers do more of solving real life problems, they make the job very easy and fast, I think the programmers are most needed in the society today.

Whatever the business, if you are an expert in it, you can grow in it and earn your profit. If you want to grow in it, you must first search it thoroughly.

I have been into programming and web design although programming was my forte particularly in mainframe programming. With web design I have a handicap because of my partial color blindness. In programming it was my profession and I can say it is harder than web design because programming has no basic pattern. It always depends on the kind of program that you will do.

I think both web designing and programing are the main work on internet to earn money and enjoy their life. But before starting business of wen designing and programing we should take training properly of both works then we should start.

Your question is confusing, web development is part of programming. Programming includes web development, game development, mobile development, etc. Maybe you will say web design and web development.

 

[Trexxxy]

A lot of people in the comments have said a lot, the thread doesn't line up. However, the truth is web design and web development are two different things, interwoven but either one of them is great.

 

[Adecyptii]

Both of the web development and programming seems to be hard, but as one who wants to learn, I don't thinks it's hard all one has to do is to devote his time and learn, nothing big comes easy.

There are different aspects of web development and there are some that your job might be as simple as deciding how the website should look like. If you are a programmer then you will definitely need to write some code which is much more tasking.

 

[Nomad]

Web development and programming are interlinked. You are developing a website means you are using programming languages to build a website. However, web design is little different as it also involves using ready made template.

 

[Dagm1]

Web programmers and web developers, in my perspective, write the same code for programs and software. You should have inquired as to what the distinction is between web designers and web developers.

 

[BrolySSJ]

I think that web development is much harder because there is a lot more factors that you have to consider when you are looking at websites and anything online than when you are programming.
