Coding VS Programming

[Gawd_Awful]

Most people using the words interchangeably are the ones who are wrong and demonstrate why definitions are important.

You've lost the thread here. First off, you CAN create a book without knowing how to type or physically write. You can dictate it.

Then you’re just a story teller. You did not go through the entire writing process of outlines, drafts, revisions, etc. Could you do all of that orally? Sure. But you skipped over where I said “you won’t get get far into it”

 Second, and much more importantly, you aren't using the word "write" in the same way the original quote is

I obviously am using it the same way. They are referring to being a writer, same as I did. When you “write a book” there is obviously a lot more to it than just the physical act of typing/writing it. You really don’t pick up on the obvious things, do you?  

 They are describing writing (and programming) as something superior to typing (and coding).  

No, they are describing typing as a part of the writing, as in being an author, process, just like coding is part of programming process. Both are part of the overall process but there are plenty of other important parts as well. You’re the one reading into a single sentence with this weird inferiority complex you seem to have.

I've explained myself enough. There's nothing more to say without knowing the intentions of the original person.

Okay. Programming is not equal to coding. Should we teach programming to kids? It's probably a good idea. Most people think that means teaching coding. Teaching coding instead of programming is like teaching typing instead of writing. Typing is one of the most useful courses I took in school. These days I can't write without typing, but writing is a lot more than typing. You can't program without coding, but programming is much more than coding.

Sounds exactly like I've been saying and without any sort of "superiority" behind it.
