I would like someone to enlighten me today by explaining the difference between shell programming and shell scripting. Are these similar or there is a major difference? How do I use shell programming and how do I use shell scripting? Which applications require the use of shell programming and which ones need shell scripting?

Differentiate Between Shell Programming and Shell Scripting

"Shell Programming is actually Shell Scripting which means a bunch of instructions or commands that are sent to do a particular job. In this process of executing a command the Shell works as a Interpreter which sends those set of Commands.
Whenever a task is assigned the shell script also known as Script Programming creates a new short Shell that will interpret the task by running one line at one time only. This is how Shell programming works."
