Software Engineering

​Software Engineering is the systematic approach to building and maintaining software systems. It focuses on the "big picture," ensuring that applications are stable, secure, and able to handle many users at once. It’s not just about making a program work; it’s about applying engineering principles to make sure it stays reliable and easy to update for years to come.
​Software Development

​Software Development is the entire process of creating a digital product from start to finish. It begins with an idea or a user need and moves through designing, building, and testing until the final product is launched. Developers manage the whole lifecycle, making sure the software actually solves the problem it was intended for.
​Programming

​Programming is the process of taking an algorithm or a set of logical steps and turning them into instructions a computer can follow. It is the bridge between human logic and machine execution. A programmer focuses on solving specific problems and ensuring that the logic behind a feature is sound and efficient.
​Coding

​Coding is the most basic act of writing the actual lines of text in a computer language like Python or Java. It is the literal "writing" part of the process. While often used to describe the whole field, coding specifically refers to translating human-readable instructions into a format that the computer’s software can process.
