What is coding?

• Coding simple means writing codes and a coder is
  an individual who codes from one language to
  another.  Coding is also programming but its
  used to implement the initial steps of computer
  programming. The term programming is used in a
  much broader sense, unlike coding which basically
  involves writing codes in various languages as
  instructed. Computers dont interact in our
  language it only understands the machine code,
  which is the binary language. So what a coder
  does is translate the requirements into a
  language that a machine will understand. They are
  more of a language oriented programmers who
  translate logics into machine-readable codes.

What is Programming?

• Programming means to program a machine or
  application to run without any errors.
  Programming is the common term used to describe
  the process of feeding machine with a set of
  instructions to perform. In simple terms,
  programming means perfecting a recipe you
  manipulate ingredients to cook a recipe, whereas
  a computer manipulates data to accomplish a task
  following a set of commands. For instance, take a
  coffee machine. You can program the machine to be
  coffee-ready by 915 AM. Or take radio, for that
  matter you can program the radio to play your
  favorite channels. Programming is the bigger
  picture here which involves more than just
  writing codes.

Basics of Coding and Programming

• While both the terms are synonymous with each
  other and are often used interchangeably, they
  are quite different from each other. Coding
  simply means writing codes from one language to
  another such as from English to Java. Its less
  intimidating and less intensive. Programming, on
  the other hand, means to program a machine with a
  set of instructions to run.

Coders vs. Programmers

• A coder is someone who translates logics into a
  language machine will understand. Coding is more
  language oriented, whereas programming is
  different. Its the bigger picture and a
  programmer deals with much more than just writing
  codes which is just the beginning of what makes
  up the tasks of a programmer.

Experience Level in Coding and Programming

• As a programmer, you need to map out the
  scalability of the project to minimize the
  problems in the code. For which, a programmer has
  to get into the minute details like setting up
  semantics, analyzing code, designing different
  patterns, and more. The idea is to save time
  using minimal lines o code. Programming is
  complex which requires in-depth knowledge and
  understanding of the language.

Coding vs. Programming Comparison Chart
Coding Programming
Coding means creating codes from one language to another. Programming means to program a machine to perform using a set of instructions.
Its the primary method to facilitate communication between humans and machines. Programming is the formal act of writing code but on a much higher level.
Its part of a computer programming procedure which involves translating requirements into a machine-readable language. Programming is the bigger picture which involves everything from compiling and debugging to testing and implementation.
A coder compartmentalizes lines of code without worrying about the details. The job of a programmer is to conceptualize and analyze solutions of the problems before they occur.
Coders are programmers but with less expertise. Programmers are skilled professionals who work on substantial logic to solve complex problems.
