I am wrting an article on web developers. It seems to me there are some problems on the definition of "what is a web developer".

It looks like a web developer title is a bit misunderstood. And people with this title doesnt get the recognition they deserve.

While most people at IT have some well defined job defitinitions. A web developer requires multiple skills. Like knowing a programming language, web security, etc.

I was wondering what do you think about this issue? What skills does a web developer need? Where does his responsibilities start and end? etc.
