## Software Considerations

I hate that someone calls me a "Web Developer". I know its wrong and sounds offensive but I didnt know why until today as I'm reading Martin Fowler's "Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture".

Firstly, web development to me sounds like HTML and CSS stuff, which all things considered, is somewhat the final product, yes. But its not what I do. I am a Software Engineer, a Enterprise Software Developer.

Definition of Enterprise Software - Most people think this means "big" and "production ready", but it doesn't. What it means is that it deals with an enterprise set of problems, not with telecom switches, or car brakes or directly interact with hardware as core problems.

Enterprise fundamentally deals with lots of data and customers, clients, concurrent access to the data, etc...

So I'm not really a webdev. I'm a software dev.
