What is the difference between a computer programmer and a software engineer?

They are more concerned with developing algorithms and analyzing and solving programming problems. Programmers are more concerned with writing code.


What is the difference between a web-designer and a web-developer?

I need a second opinion on my facts, but the difference is that a web-developer programs.

A web-designer knows HTML, Javascript, and maybe CSS and basic Flash, excluding Actionscript.

A web-developer does web-programming, which includes things like PHP. Javascript can count as a language (scripting) too. They may likely know Perl, Python, Java or Haskell as well.

A web-designer knows HTML, Javascript, and maybe CSS and basic Flash, excluding Actionscript. To add to that, a web designer is responsible for the "design" which is the look and layout of the pages. Depending on their skill set, they may also do the graphics. I see the terms developer & designer used interchangeably, but I agree with kenikov's distinction.

A software engineer also develops/creates new software. After a software engineer develops the software, a programmer writes the program that provides the instructions to the computer on how to perform the functions.
