In fact that discussion in Professor's class prompted me to write this article and it's what comes from the core of the CS Research Community which you fail to accept and yes that is the difference between Programming and Coding.<br /><br />May be you have not grasped what planning means here; planning here does not refer to the planning you study in Software Engineering. Rather it is planning as in traditional Computer Science coming from realms of Algorithm Design and Analysis, Data Structures, Programming Languages Theory and Theory of Computing: that is what planning means here and therein lies the difference between programming and coding.<br /><br />Read this article not as a software engineer but as a computer scientist and then you will get the essence of the title.Arjumandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03679172506796211394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857842314311875399.post-18934587839085870012009-12-25T05:37:18.918-08:002009-12-25T05:37:18.918-08:00Nice but better name it Science vs Technology!
Be...Nice but better name it Science vs Technology!<br /><br />Because Coding is actually generating source code and it does not mean that you write code without thinking or designing or planning and it's foolish to assume that industry build software without planning :) and Project Manager is responsible for initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and closing of the project in which he cares for time, cost, schedule and quality. <br /><br />Programming and Coding are most of the times use interchangeably however programming also refers to testing and debugging of code :)<br /><br />However I agree to your original concepts that we don't have computer science here much and that is not industry fault much but more of Universities :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857842314311875399.post-89762749239479733242009-12-19T04:49:00.066-08:002009-12-19T04:49:00.066-08:00Well in my honest opinion software houses in Pakis...Well in my honest opinion software houses in Pakistan do not represent "Computer Science", they are actually making money without caring about any of the science behind.What they have as a project manager is one who understands the nature of business and has nothing to do with science.Arjumandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03679172506796211394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857842314311875399.post-88573839201303664012009-12-18T14:44:20.236-08:002009-12-18T14:44:20.236-08:00Depends.

Limited they used to just do that - plan well in advance before writing a single line of code and in the end what they used to have is a quality product.<br /><br />Then you have coders aka workers at the lower end of the pyramid who actually do code (yes code).<br /><br />-Shakil<br />Someone who has gone through the pains of bad architecture.shakilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286413407134161989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857842314311875399.post-65023612166483595262009-07-02T02:22:50.614-07:002009-07-02T02:22:50.614-07:00I agree with Arjumand and I also want to comment t...I agree with Arjumand and I also want to comment that Its the fault of our mentors that have demoralize our nation's children.

Living upto the expectations and as you yourself said it's OK for engineers not good and when one wishes to excel in Computer Science then he has to do extra.<br /><br />Last but not the least CS is more of a science, not an engineering discipline and when one takes it as such that's where the coder is born :)<br /><br />I hope you get my point.Arjumandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03679172506796211394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857842314311875399.post-30310313551186566102009-06-29T03:37:54.511-07:002009-06-29T03:37:54.511-07:00>> Programming is about design and attention...>> Programming is about design and attention to detail while coding is about knowing few tips and following them without much thinking.<br /><br />Programmer's and coder's relationship is built upon trust and understanding -- coders don't understand programmers' abstruse notation/work while programmers don't trust coders. :P<br /><br />Even people in engineering department think of Maths/CS as nothing but collection of prefabricated algorithms and foregone conclusions. Moreover they don't give attention to presumably important details (i.e. ODE which they're setting up has unique solution, the approximating series converge or not, etc.) But it's OK because their (superficial) understanding is sufficient for most of the work. <br /><br />I wonder if you're expecting too much expertise from CS graduates?<br /><br />Regards,<br />Alok BakshiAlok Bakshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01399520313655369587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857842314311875399.post-55075324607903573942009-06-27T06:47:47.334-07:002009-06-27T06:47:47.334-07:00Well I hope you know it now dear.Well I hope you know it now dear.Arjumandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03679172506796211394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857842314311875399.post-11593610119461691552009-06-26T11:40:16.399-07:002009-06-26T11:40:16.399-07:00really mind blowing difference i never knew this ....really mind blowing difference i never knew this ....Mehwishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17363887871834528619noreply@blogger.com
