There is no one official set of definitions.  Use whatever you think 
looks best on your business cards, and your boss doesn't object to.  We 
could have a very lengthy thread trying (in vain) to define the exact 
differences between:

 - programmers (and whether it should have one m or two)
 - coders
 - systems analysts
 - software engineers
 - systems engineers
 - software developers
 - system developers
 - software architects
 - system architects

and probably several more.  About half of these have been my title at 
some point.  Let's not, and deny we even thought about it!
