    This will probably start an arguement but 'secure programming' can be
    interpreted a lot of ways. To me it means using functions that arent
    known for their security risks. Or using a secure library that has all
    'secure' functions. I can go on and on, but at its most basic meaning
    I think secure programming is typically reviewing what youve wrote to
    make sure their are no obvious vulnerabilities.

    Coding and programming mean the same thing to me, one just sounds
    cooler ;)
