Coding or Programming: What Is the Difference?

🎓 View our courses: scrimba.com/links/all-courses
Some people will tell you coding and programming is the same thing and to a certain extent, they'd be telling the truth. That said, there are several important distinctions between coding and programming, which you should understand to ensure you're learning the right thing to meet your goals. In this video, Alex from Scrimba explains the difference once and for all, with a specific focus on what you need to know a new developer and aspiring junior developer.
