ssh is 'secure shell'. A shell is the program that accepts typed commands (eg running in a terminal window). ssh is used to connect to other computers over the network and type commands for them (eg servers).
If you ever want to learn programming yourself, I would recommend Python. Other dynamic languages with an interactive interpreter would probably also be good first languages (eg Ruby), but Python is the one I know.
