I know that a couple of variation of "coding" or programming are 编程, or 写代码. How would I refer to that person who does the coding/programming? Is it 编程家? or is there a more colloquial way of saying it?

编程家
sounds weird. You can say:
程序员
程序猿 (for male)
程序媛 (for female)
编程人员
码农 (junior programmer without future, often used for self-mockery)
挨踢(IT)民工 (similar to 码农)

程序员 is the widely used word. In most company, including the one I'm currently working in, people use 程序 to call 程序员, some kinda in short. 主程: LP/ Chief Programmer. A funny version is 程序猿[code monkey]. 猿(yuan2) is gorilla. Also, 码农[a programmer who gets low salary],程序媛[female code monkey](媛 means girl).

Sean, I've heard that 码农 isn't that often used/is 网络语。 Do you think I should ever use it when speaking as a joke? Like 我以后想当一个码农。– StephenJul 23, 2014 at 10:27

1You can but it sounds weird. We often call ourselves(who are already coders) 码农 (as a joke of course). See this self sarcasm: 人家敲代码几年都成男神高富帅了,我特么还是一码农/屌丝程序猿。(And I am the 屌丝程序猿 :P)– Sean C.Jul 23, 2014 at 11:08

Oh awesome - so, I could probably use it if I was a computer science student as well though/considered myself a programmer– StephenJul 23, 2014 at 14:09
You can use 程序员, 程序师, or 程序设计师 (设计师 means architect/designer and 程序 means a program).
軟體工程師
. But a more colloquial way is referring to someone as寫程式的
, i.e.周小姐是寫程式的
