Comment:

 A post type is "post", "page", "book"

 A taxonomy is "tag", "category", "author"

 A term is "programming reference", "Non-Fiction", "Andrew Nacin"

 get_the_category() will work on a post and return Non-Fiction, which is a
 category assigned to that post. (To put it another way, it is a term in
 the taxonomy of category.)

 If you want to get the terms for a custom taxonomy for a post, don't use
 get_the_category(). Use get_the_terms(), specifying the taxonomy you'd
 like.
