States that Web Application Developer is "not the same as a Web Developer" but does not go into detail as to how and why Web Application Developer separates itself form Web Developer. Also no references are cited. Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 19:42, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A Web Application developer is not the same as a Web Developer and should not be redirected to the Web developer wiki page.

A Web Developer is a person that "creates" Websites and not a web "Designer".

But, they are also not an "Application" developer meaning they are not using "Business Logic" or Application Layers in their website.

Web Developer create websites that are mostly "static" and about 95% consists of static non-changing HTML.


A web site that uses HTML and JavaScript if complex can be considered a "Web Application" and this a Web Application Developer created it even through there is not any Server Side code.


Going to be including reliable sources soon, right now just very busy.


But a Web Application Developer and a Web Developer are two different positions.

Here is the order of Positions:

1. Web Designer (HTML and CSS)

2. Web Developer (HTML,CSS,JavaScript) [95% Static website with no complex logic]

{Below are also responsible for Technical Documentation and Planning.}

3. Web Application Developer (HTML,CSS,JavaScript, JavaScript Frameworks, Server Side Logic) [Dynamic website with complex logic]

4. Web/Software Engineer (System Analysis,Application and Web Developer, can program on any platform for UI (Mobile,Desktop,Web — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kbdavis07 (talkcontribs) 13:27, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
