I overheard somebody talking about making sure their website design was "SEO'd" before he started coding it. What exactly does that mean? I thought SEO was all about coding it in a certain way. Meta tags and google analytics.

A spammer's worst nightmare
There are a lot of aspects to making a website SEO friendly. Using literal links, not JavaScript function links, for example, makes it easier to spider the site. How menus are coded is another example.

If i'm not wrong, other SEO techniques involve using headings (like h1, h2...), bold style .

Google Analytics is not related to seo, other than you can use analytics to further improve and optimize existing website.

If nothing goes right, go left.
Since a major aspect of SEO is to enable the search engine to "index" the content of a site, it is important to make sure the site conforms to W3C standards. If a search engine is "reading" a page and comes up to something it can not make sense of (ie. bad syntax, mark-up), it would try its best to parse the content or give up. If it gives up, then it might miss subsequent pages that are deeper within the site - AKA "bad SEO".
With that said, another interpretation of
could be that the web design components (HTML, CSS, etc.) of the page need to be able to pass a W3C validator (The W3C Markup Validation Service). Given a HTML-only page, it should ideally result in no errors.
For sites that have numerous pages, I would diligently validate all templates so that the search engine can efficiently index the pages. The W3C Markup Validation Service also have a neat tool (Clean up Markup with HTML Tidy) that cleans up the code for you.

Hi!
Search engine optimization is simply a way of making your website attractive to search engines. Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based website, make sure to fill-in the property entries such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can be readily indexed by search robots.

SEO include many thing like on page and off page optimization. SEO would help to increase your website rank in major search engine. there is nothing related to coding. As far as google analytic concern, it is a tool which produce your website performance report and gives you idea about how your website is performing online.
