Tier 1 (which replaced the HSMP) is normally the visa most programmers use to get into the UK. Tier 2 is mainly used in professions where you can't get a Tier 1 visa but for which there is a shortage of workers in the uk.

Although if any if your grandparents were from EU countries, then that's probably the best route as you can get citizenship as opposed to just a work visa.
