Is Software Development a Part of IT
- by kzh
I am not sure if this question is in the scope of SO, but I will ask anyway...
I am currently going to school, majoring in Computer Science. Often I overhear students in the Management of Information Systems major call themselves programmers. These comments make me angry for a few reasons:
They seem to trivialize what I do.
Most of them are not even capable of doing what I can do.
To me, MIS is IT and the are technicians and software developers are engineers and are not IT. So I guess my question is,
Is software development part of IT? I often see them lumped together.
