A programmer is an individual that actually knows how to read, use, and create with a given language.

Here, in the States, a computer scientist usually needs a bit of math and computer languages as prerequisites and graduate requirements for the degree.

Nobody knows any hacker.
And "Anonymous" guys are NOT hackers. Not at all.
Hacker checks out operating system of a target, reads this system from source [if available] or from hex editor [if not], sees an opportunity for a sploit, drinks his sugar-aspartame flavoured soda, writes the sploit, jumps through TOR and thousands of proxies, exploits a bug, deletes logs, eats his/her potato chips, scans another target...

1. Hacker- an individual who is able to manipulate hardware or software to improve a situation. Calling yourself a hacker doesn't make you one.
2. Cracker- a bad/malicious/ ungoodly hacker.

P.S.
DDoS-persons are usually called vandals, or internet hooligans. And I cant stop laughing when watching fox/cbs/nbc/whatever news with "Anonymous Hackers Group" on a lead  |
Vandal is a good name for the DDos'ers.
