No.
The Z80 has nothing to program.
Some derivatives may have...

That doesn't make, if you can't program the Z80 whats the point in having instruction sets for it? I think your wrong. I'm talking about the Zilog Z80?!

Usually the phrase "a programmer for" implies a tool for making some binary stick inside a *PROM chip. The Zilog Z80 has no such thing, hence the term "Z80 programmer" makes no sense. Typically you might store your Z80 program in a 27xx EEPROM, in which case it's an EEPROM programmer you need.
Unless, of course, you want a *person* capable of writing code for a Z80, in which case "making your own Z80 programmer" could be rather a lengthy process.

In plain english the Z80 is a processor that relies on external memory (extra electronic IC). So you can't program an Z80 but you can program the external memory.
The 27xxx EPROM or EEPROM is the external memory.

1) Learn proper English 2) Stop asking about chips that are two decades obsolete.

Look at the mame program to see one of the most used Z80 emulators.
To make a programmer, you'd likely be better off buying one on ebay.

Poof! You're a programmer!
