Let’s smash Jargons with Web Development vocabulary

 


Jargon is the words that are specific with a discipline or a field and are known by the persons that have a specialization or deal with development. However, individuals new to the Web Development industry and the people having websites or those going to own an online existence can’t seem to grasp the jargons of Web Development. Therefore, let’s smash these jargons with Web Development vocabulary and make it easier.

Algorithm

Set of rules and instructions (or manual) that gets used during computation and problem-solving tasks.

API 

Stands for ‘Application programming interface’ is a shared boundary between two programs, computers, or applications to communicate and exchange data.  

Application

Also known by ‘App or Apps’ is a kind of software. It lets the user carry out different tasks. When associated with a medium used as a suffix like, desktop app, mobile apps, web app.

Bootstrap

An open-source Front-End framework to devise websites and apps. It uses CSS and HTML templates to build user-intractable features of websites and apps.

Front-End & Back-End & Full-stack 

Some other important words in Web Development vocabulary are: Front-End is what you get to see and interact on the website. Back-End indicates the working and development of codes and programming on servers and databases behind a website or app, i.e., what will be showing on the front is processed backstage. Full-stack is working on the combination of both ends during a project.

Bug & Debugging

A bug is a coding error (fault, flaw) which does not allow the running and processing of the applications (smoothly as they typically should). Debugging is identifying and eliminating these errors.

Cache

A temporary place that stores data of the first visit on a website to ease the second visitation. (No need to retrieve the previously used files from the original server)

Code

Combination of letters, numbers, and symbols (using programming languages) to process and convert information to do a task. (It is like a rule or message)

CMS

Stands for Content Management System and work for editing the content of the website.

Deployment 

When a website gets ready to go on-air in the World Wide Web, it means it is all set to be deployed.  

Version Control, Git & Git Hub

Version control refers to the saving of changes that a developer has made in coding, programming, or in a website. Git is a version control system to manage and store the codes (track all changes and can reverse, in case). GitHub is a cloud hosting platform of Git with other useful features. 

HTTP

Stands for HyperText Transfer Control and indicates the data transfer on the internet from server end to client end. 

Programming Languages 

System (or medium) of communication that eventually builds all the codes. Most famous ones used for Web Development are CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), HTML (HyperText Markup Language), Java, JavaScript, PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor), Python, Ruby, etc.

Libraries & Frameworks 

Libraries are stores where pre-written codes, modules, and laws are kept for later use to make the coding easy, for instance, jQuery. Likewise, frameworks are the packages of tools and solution for later use and work faster, for example, Ruby on Rails.

Plugin 

Another important word of the Web Development vocabulary is the plugin: which is an add-on (extension) of features to add alongside an existing software to increase functionality.

Sitemap

It is the map (layout, outline) of the webpages of a website.

SSL

It is an abbreviation of Secure Sockets Layer, and it refers to the safe and encrypted transfer of data between servers and browsers.  

UX Design & UI Design 

UX stands for user experience and UI for the user interface. They are all about user-friendly interaction and experience of a website for users.

This directory focusing on Web Development vocabulary does cover a lot of jargons; however, it is not comprehensive. Hope you find it useful.

What is an inguinal hernia?

  An  inguinal hernia  is a form of hernia that develops around the groin in the abdomen. Intestinal or fatty tissues push through a weakness in the abdominal wall around the right or left of the inguinal canal, causing them to protrude. Each inguinal canal is located near the base of the abdomen. Inguinal canals exist in both males and women. The testes usually descend into the canal of the testes in men a few weeks before birth. Each canal serves as a passageway for the uterus’s round ligament in women. A bulging bulge occurs if you have a hernia in or near this tube. During movement, it may be painful. Because this form of hernia is often minor and doesn’t create any symptoms, many people don’t seek treatment. However, prompt treatment can help to prevent future protrusion and discomfort. Types of inguinal hernias Inguinal hernias can be indirect or direct, incarcerated, or strangulated. Indirect inguinal hernia The most prevalent kind is an indirect ingu...
