Programming is writing the instructions computers follow. Learn programming, a programming language, programming skills.
Most of the work is reading and changing code that already exists rather than writing new lines, which is why clarity matters more than cleverness. In broadcasting, programming is what a channel puts out. Note the double m in British spelling, which American usage keeps here too.
