Difference : Developer or Programmer

Developer and Programmer , the two words generally seen in the pages for some job profiles etc.. Then what is the exact difference between the two. As far as my knowledge says,

A Programmer is who writes the instructions in the language for the target of compilation and execution of the task, mostly if the better one would test for any bugs.

A Developer also includes programmer in himself as a start step. A Developer, has following the additional tasks....as follows:


* Spec documents
* Configuration management
* Code reviews
* Testing
* Automated tests
* Documentation
* Solving tough customer problems



So in aside of this concept, it can also be concluded as small independent software vendors tends to require developers rather than Programmers.

A good explaination of this one can be found here
