  • Keywords
    Ernestoundefined Ernesto

    Keywords are words or phrases that describe content. They can be used as metadata to describe images, text documents, database records, and Web pages. A user may tag pictures or text files with keywords that are relevant to their content. Later on, these files may be searched using keywords, which can make finding files much easier. For example, a photographer may use a program like Extensis Portfolio or Apple iPhoto to tag his nature photos with words such as nature, trees, flowers, landscape, etc. By tagging the photos, he can later locate all the pictures of flowers by simply searching for the flowers keyword.
    Keywords are used on the Web in two different ways: 1) as search terms for search engines, and 2) words that identify the content of the website.

    Search Engine Search Terms Whenever you search for something using a search engine, you type keywords that tell the search engine what to search for. For example, if you are searching for used cars, you may enter used cars as your keywords. The search engine will then return Web pages with content relevant to your search terms. The more specific keywords you use, the more specific (and useful) the results will be. Therefore, if you are searching for a specific used car, you may enter something like black Honda Accord used car to get more accurate results.

    Many search engines also support boolean operators that can be used along with keywords to further refine the search. For example, you may search for Apple AND computers NOT fruit if you only want results related to Apple products and not the kind of apples that grow on trees.

    Web Page Description Terms Keywords can also describe the content of a Web page using the keyword meta tag. This tag is placed in the

  • Infotainment
    Ernestoundefined Ernesto

    Infotainment is a combo word, like fantabulous, that combines two words into one. It refers to television shows, movies, websites, and software that blend information and entertainment together. For example, shows on the Food Network and Animal Planet provide information to the viewer, but are also fun to watch. Certain news broadcasts can also be considered infotainment, since they strive to be as entertaining as they are informational.
    Websites like Yahoo.com and CNET.com also have content that is both informational and entertaining. Software titles such as Grolier Encyclopedia and Encyclopedia Britannica serve primarily to inform, but are also geared to be entertaining, so they can be considered infotainment. While there is a blurry line between basic information and infotainment, if informational media makes an intentional effort to entertain, you can call it infotainment.

    Impressions track how many times a webpage or element on a webpage is viewed. It is one of the standard metrics used in website analytics software. The term impressions most often refers to page impressions, which is synonymous with page views. Each time a page is viewed, a page impression is counted. Therefore, a single visitor can rack up multiple impressions on a website by visiting multiple pages.
    Unique impressions, or page views by different visitors, are useful for measuring the number of daily unique visitors to a website. Website analytics software may record unique impressions by either saving a 24 hour cookie on visitors browsers or by resetting the record of unique visitors at the start of each day. Most analytics software records both total and unique impressions. These two metrics can be used to determine the average number of pages visitors view before leaving the website.
    While impressions typically refer to page views, they may also define how many times individual elements on a webpage are viewed. For example, in online advertising, ad impressions track the number of times individual advertisements are displayed. If a webpage contains three ad units, each page view will produce three ad impressions. By tracking the number of ad impressions, webmasters can monitor the performance of individual ads. This information can be used in combination with RPM, or revenue per 1,000 page views, to determine the ideal amount of ads for each webpage.

  • HTML5
    Ernestoundefined Ernesto

    HTML5 is the fifth major standard of HTML. Development of the standard began in 2007 and HTML5 websites started becoming mainstream in 2010. The final HTML5 standard was officially standardized by W3C on October 28, 2014.
    The previous HTML standard, HTML 4.01, was standardized in 1999 – fifteen years before the HTML5 standard was published. However, in the decade preceding HTML5, most websites were written in XHTML, a more strict version of HTML published in 2000. HTML5 was designed to supersede both HTML 4 and XHTML by providing web developers with a simpler standard that includes several new features for the modern web.
    The table below includes a list of new elements, or tags, introduced in HTML5 that are used to define the structure of a document.
    These tags simplify the webpages source as well as the corresponding CSS styles. For example, in order to define a navigation element in XHTML, you would typically write <div class=nav> in the pages HTML and define a class called .nav in CSS. In HTML5, you can simply insert the <nav> tag in the HTML and style the element itself using CSS.
    HTML5 includes several other new tags as well. Examples include <canvas> and <svg> for graphics and <audio> and <video> for multimedia elements. These tags provide new capabilities for web developers, though it is important to note that HTML5 still relies heavily on CSS and JavaScript for page styling, animations, and user interaction. Therefore, most interactive HTML5 websites are built using a combination of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript or jQuery.
    NOTE: Previous HTML standards included a space between the HTML and the number (i.e., HTML 1.0, HTML 4.01). HTML 5.0 does away with the space and is officially written as HTML5.

  • FiOS
    Ernestoundefined Ernesto

    Stands for Fiber Optic Service. FiOS is a data communications service provided by Verizon that uses fiber optic cables to transfer data. FiOS is called a Fiber to the Premises, or FTTP service, since it brings fiber optic data transmission to residential homes as well as businesses. Since fiber optic technology sends data via pulses of light, it is the fastest method of transferring data.
    While FiOS is currently used primarily for Internet access, it can also be used for digital cable and voice over IP (VoIP) services. For this reason, FiOS is considered to be a potential competitor to both cable and Internet Service Providers.

  • File Extension
    Ernestoundefined Ernesto

    A file extension (or simply extension) is the suffix at the end of a filename that indicates what type of file it is. For example, in the filename myreport.txt, the .TXT is the file extension. It indicates the file is a text document. Some other examples include .DOCX, which is used for Microsoft Word documents, and .PSD, which is the standard file extension for Photoshop documents.
    While most file extensions are three characters in length, they can be as short as one character or longer than twenty characters. Sometimes long file extensions are used to more clearly identify the file type. For example, the .TAX2015 file extension is used to identify TurboTax 2015 tax returns and the .DESKTHEMEPACK extension identifies Windows 8 desktop themes. The file extension determines which program is used to open the file as well as what icon should be displayed for the file. It also helps you see what kind of file a certain document is by just looking at the filename.
    Both Windows and Mac OS X allow you to manually change file extensions, which may also change the program the computer uses to open the file. While this might work for some files, it may also cause the file to not open at all. For example, if you change a file with a .txt extension to a .doc extension, Microsoft Word may still open it. However, if you change a .txt file to a .psd file, Photoshop will not recognize or open the file.
    Since there are tens of thousands of file types, there are also tens of thousands of file extensions. While it may not be possible to remember all of them, it is helpful to learn some of the more common ones, such as .JPG, .GIF, .MP3, .ZIP, .HTML, and others.

  • Email
    Ernestoundefined Ernesto

    Email, short for electronic mail, is one of the most widely used features of the Internet, along with the web. It allows you to send and receive messages to and from anyone with an email address, anywhere in the world.
    Email uses multiple protocols within the TCP/IP suite. For example, SMTP is used to send messages, while the POP or IMAP protocols are used to retrieve messages from a mail server. When you configure an email account, you must define your email address, password, and the mail servers used to send and receive messages. Fortunately, most webmail services configure your account automatically, so you only need to enter your email address and password. However, if you use an email client like Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail, you may need to manually configure each account. Besides the email address and password, you may also have to enter the incoming and outgoing mail servers and enter the correct port numbers for each one.
    The original email standard only supported plain text messages. Eventually, email evolved to support rich text with custom formatting. Today, email supports HTML, which allows emails to be formatted the same way as websites. HTML email messages can include images, links, and CSS layouts. You can also send files or email attachments along with messages. Most mail servers allow you to send multiple attachments with each message, but they limit the total size. In the early days of email, attachments were typically limited to one megabyte, but now many mail servers support email attachments that are 20 megabytes in size or more.
    When composing an email message, it is important to use good netiquette. For example, you should always include a subject that summarizes the topic of the email. It is also helpful to begin each message with the recipients name and end the message with your name or signature. A typical signature includes your name, email address, and/or website URL. A professional signature may include your company name and title as well. Most email programs allow you to save multiple signatures, which you can insert at the bottom of an email.
    If you want to send an email to multiple recipients, you can simply add each email address to the To field. However, if the email is primarily intended for one person, you should place the additional addresses in the CC (carbon copy) field. If you are sending an email to multiple people that dont know each other, it is best to use the Bcc (blind carbon copy) field. This hides the email addresses of each recipient, which helps prevent spam.
    NOTE: Email was originally written e-mail, but is now more commonly written as email without the dash.

  • Cryptography
    Ernestoundefined Ernesto

    Cryptography is the science of protecting information by transforming it into a secure format. This process, called encryption, has been used for centuries to prevent handwritten messages from being read by unintended recipients. Today, cryptography is used to protect digital data. It is a division of computer science that focuses on transforming data into formats that cannot be recognized by unauthorized users.
    An example of basic cryptography is a encrypted message in which letters are replaced with other characters. To decode the encrypted contents, you would need a grid or table that defines how the letters are transposed. For example, the translation grid below could be used to decode 1234125678906 as techterms.com.
    The above table is also called a cipher. Ciphers can be simple translation codes, such as the example above, or complex algorithms. While simple codes sufficed for encoding handwritten notes, computers can easily break, or figure out, these types of codes. Because computers can process billions of calculations per second, they can even break complex algorithms in a matter of seconds. Therefore, modern cryptography involves developing encryption methods that are difficult for even supercomputers to break.

  • CRT
    Ernestoundefined Ernesto

    Stands for Cathode Ray Tube. CRT is the technology used in traditional computer monitors and televisions. The image on a CRT display is created by firing electrons from the back of the tube to phosphors located towards the front of the display. Once the electrons hit the phosphors, they light up and are projected on the screen. The color you see on the screen is produced by a blend of red, blue, and green light, often referred to as RGB.
    The stream of electrons is guiding by magnetic charges, which is why you may get interference with unshielded speakers or other magnetic devices that are placed close to a CRT monitor. Flat screen or LCD displays dont have this problem, since they dont require a magnetic charge. LCD monitors also dont use a tube, which is what enables them to be much thinner than CRT monitors. While CRT displays are still used by graphics professionals because of their vibrant and accurate color, LCD displays now nearly match the quality of CRT monitors. Therefore, flat screen displays are well on their way to replacing CRT monitors in both the consumer and professional markets.

  • CPM
    Ernestoundefined Ernesto

    Stands for Cost Per 1,000 Impressions, and is used in online advertising. CPM defines the cost an advertiser pays for 1,000 impressions of an advertisement, such as a banner ad or other promotion. An impression is counted each time an advertisement is shown.
    While some advertisers pay publishers an amount based strictly on impressions, most advertisers pay for individual clicks or leads generated from their advertisements. Therefore, in Web advertising, it may be more effective to measure pay per click (PPC) or pay per lead (PPL) rates. Either way, the advertisers goal is to generate as many leads as possible by keeping the rates as low as possible.
    Web publishers also use the CPM to measure the revenue per 1,000 impressions. While technically this should be revenue per 1,000 impressions, or RPM, the terms CPM and RPM are often used interchangeably from the publishers perspective.

  • Cold Boot
    Ernestoundefined Ernesto

    To perform a cold boot (also called a hard boot) means to start up a computer that is turned off. It is often used in contrast to a warm boot, which refers to restarting a computer once it has been turned on. A cold boot is typically performed by pressing the power button on the computer.
    Both a cold boot and warm boot clear the system RAM and perform the boot sequence from scratch. However, unlike a cold boot, a warm boot may not clear all system caches, which store temporary information. Additionally, a cold boot performs a power on self test (POST), which runs a series of system checks at the beginning of the boot sequence.
    While a warm boot and cold boot are similar, a cold boot performs a more complete reset of the system than a warm boot. Therefore, if you are troubleshooting your computer, you may be asked to turn off your computer completely and perform a cold boot. This makes sure all temporary data is wiped from your system, which may help eliminate issues affecting your computer.

  • Clipboard
    Ernestoundefined Ernesto

    The clipboard is a section of RAM where your computer stores copied data. This can be a selection of text, an image, a file, or other type of data. It is placed in the clipboard whenever you use the Copy command, which is located in the Edit menu of most programs.
    Data from the clipboard can be pasted into a document or program using the Paste command, which is also located in most programs Edit menu. For example, an image copied to the clipboard from your photo album may be pasted into an image editing program such as Photoshop. A Web address can be copied to the clipboard from an e-mail and pasted into your Web browsers address field.
    Some programs allow you to see what data is stored in the clipboard. For example, the Finder in Mac OS X allows you to choose Show Clipboard from the Edit menu. When you copy data to the clipboard, whatever data was already stored in the clipboard is typically replaced by the new data. Because the clipboard data is stored in RAM, it is also deleted when your computer is shut down or restarted.

  • Character Encoding
    Ernestoundefined Ernesto

    While we view text documents as lines of text, computers actually see them as binary data, or a series of ones and zeros. Therefore, the characters within a text document must be represented by numeric codes. In order to accomplish this, the text is saved using one of several types of character encoding.
    The most popular types of character encoding are ASCII and Unicode. While ASCII is still supported by nearly all text editors, Unicode is more commonly used because it supports a larger character set. Unicode is often defined as UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32, which refer to different Unicode standards. UTF stands for Unicode Transformation Format and the number indicates the number of bits used to represent each character. From the early days of computing, characters have been represented by at least one byte (8 bits), which is why the different Unicode standards save characters in multiples of 8 bits.
    While ASCII and Unicode are the most common types of character encoding, other encoding standards may also be used to encode text files. For example, several types of language-specific character encoding standards exist, such as Western, Latin-US, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. While Western languages use similar characters, Eastern languages require a completely different character set. Therefore, a Latin encoding would not support the symbols needed to represent a text string in Chinese. Fortunately, modern standards such as UTF-16 support a large enough character set to represent both Western and Eastern letters and symbols.

  • C#
    Ernestoundefined Ernesto

    C# (pronounced C Sharp) is a programming language developed by Microsoft. It was introduced in 2002 with version 1.0 of Microsofts .NET Framework. Since then, C# has gone through several revisions, corresponding with each .NET update. Today, it is one of the most popular programming languages for creating Windows programs and web applications.

    C# is a derivative of the C programming language and is similar to C . It uses the same basic operators as C , is object oriented, case sensitive, and has nearly identical syntax. However, there are several differences between C# and C . Below are just a few examples:

    Most importantly, C# is designed specifically for Microsofts .NET Framework. This allows developers to take advantage of all the features offered by the .NET API. However, it also means C# applications can only run on platforms that support .NET runtime, such as Windows, Windows Server, and Windows Phone. In order for programs written in C# to run on other platforms, the code must be compiled using a conversion tool like Microsoft .NET Native.

    NOTE: The name C# comes from the musical note C♯, implying it is a step up from the original version of C. The ♯ symbol is also comprised of four plus signs, which may imply C# is more advanced than C as well.

  • Brownfield
    Ernestoundefined Ernesto

    Brownfield is a construction term that describes previously developed land. In the IT industry, it refers to previously developed software. Brownfield software development is software that is built from an existing program. It may be contrasted with greenfield development, which involves creating a software program from scratch.
    Since the software industry has been around for several decades, the vast majority of software development is brownfield. For example, each new version of Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Word is developed as a brownfield project. Even modern video games, such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and StarCraft 2, are created from earlier versions of the software.
    Brownfield software development has many advantages over greenfield projects. For instance, whenever a software company releases an update to a program, they have a good idea of the market for the software. They also know what features and style of interface their users expect. Adding new features and interface enhancements is less time consuming than developing a program from scratch. Therefore, brownfield development is less costly and involves less risk than greenfield development.
