Welcome to Software Development on Codidact!

"Software Development" to the exclusion of other programming and scripting?

+4
−1

The site is called "Software Development", and the subtitle on the homepage is "General Q&A about software development -- code, design, process, tools, testing, and more".

Am I to understand, then, that it's about software development to the exclusion of other programming and scripting? Can I not, for example, ask about a sed script I use to process text files, or a SQL query I use to process data?

It's meant to include all programming and scripting. By calling it Software Development we wanted to convey that it's not just code but also those other things. I'll adjust the description of the Q&A category; if people can propose better descriptions there, and also for our description on the list of sites, please do.

I've changed the category description to: "General Q&A about programming, scripting, software design & architecture, process, tools, testing, and more."
