Websphere administration

[nirjari patel]

Is websphere administration same as websphere development ?
Or these two things are different ? If they are different, then what is the difference between two ? I mean, what operations are different for development from administration. I have not used websphere as yet and I may be using it in near future. So I want to know about the difference.

Thanks

Yes, they are different. WebSphere admins may know next to nothing about the implementation details of the applications they deploy on their servers.

I understand that application deployed on websphere is completely different from websphere itself. It can be J2EE application or any other application.
Like J2EE application development, is there websphere development ? Or if I am developing an application using websphere, its called websphere development ?

What different skills a websphere administrator has that websphere developer does not have ?

Another thing is, if I am using websphere for developing a J2EE application, am I not the person who will take care of deploying that application ? Please explain me in little bit more details please.

Thanks
