Usually operating systems, separate the system memory in kernel space and
user space, in simple words, kernel space access directly the hardware and
user space access the hardware via some syscalls provided by the system.
So your apps (firefox ..) runs in user space instead your drivers runs in
kernel space.

Userland development, is referred to the development of applications like
the haiku's MediaPlayer (or application components like libraries for
example : SDL) that run in userspace, presumably via the userland API
provided by the system (HaikuAPI, c library..) :

SDL (Simple Directmedia Layer) is a c library used to develop 3D and 2D
games :
