You can sometimes find the terms used to describe the various kinds of software development experts in the wrong context or lacking a precise definition. If you still have trouble distinguishing the different types of Java and other development experts the following information will hopefully clear things up for you.
Java Developer vs. Web Developer – a Web Developer is an expert, who does coding for a website or builds a web application. Web developers can use any programming language for that purpose. A Java Developer focuses on one language – Java – and can use it for other purposes, not just the development of web applications or websites. A Java Developer can be a Web Developer, but not every Web Developer is proficient in Java.
Java Developer vs. Android Developer – most Android applications are built using Java. However, Android developers can use Kotlin for the task. In fact, Kotlin with its rising popularity among experts and organizations is a runner-up to Java in Android development. So, while there are reasons for these terms to be synonymous, they definitely don’t mean the same.
