  In this research, it's looking at Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Web Developer definition there is http://www.bls.gov/ooh/computer-and-information-technology/web-developers.htm http://www.bls.gov/ooh/computer-and-information-technology/w.... Software Developer is http://www.bls.gov/ooh/computer-and-information-technology/software-developers.htm#tab-1 http://www.bls.gov/ooh/computer-and-information-technology/s.... The short answer: Back-end as opposed to Front-end

      Very true. No definition is perfect and is going to handle every edge case. But, it's the BLS's attempt to group different job types and provide the data around it.
