A Game Developer is a Software Developer who specialises in creating computer or video games. Game Developers may focus on one or more platforms (such as PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo or PC), or specialise in mobile or handheld game development. They may specialise further in a particular aspect of game development, such as programming the game’s Artificial Intelligence or virtual landscapes. Game Developers interact with computers daily, and have strong knowledge of computer programming, as well as sound and visual design, and 2D and 3D animation.
A Web Developer is a Software Developer who specialises in the development of websites and other web-based content. They commonly work with programming languages like HTML, CSS, PHP, Java and JavaScript.
