AJAX |
AJAX means Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, which is a
term describing a web development technique for creating interactive
web applications using a combination of HTML, XHTML and Cascading
Style Sheets for presenting information Document Object Model,
JavaScript to dynamically display and interact with the information
presented XML, XSLT and the XMLHttpRequest object to interchange and
manipulate data asynchronously with the web server. |

Active Server Pages
(ASP) |
Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft's server-side
script engine for dynamically-generated websites. Initially released
as an add-on to Internet Information Services (IIS) via the Windows
NT 4.0 Option Pack, it was subsequently included as a free component
of Windows Server since release of Windows 2000 Server. It has now
been superseded by ASP.NET. |

Cascading Style Sheets |
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a simple mechanism for
adding style (e.g. fonts, colors, spacing) to Web documents. |

Client-side scripting |
Client-side scripting generally refers to the class of computer programs
on the web that are executed client-side, by the user's web browser,
instead of server-side (on the web server).[1] This type of computer programming is an
important part of the Dynamic HTML (DHTML) concept, enabling web pages to be scripted; that is,
to have different and changing content depending on user input, environmental conditions
(such as the time of day), or other variables. |

Domain name registry |
A domain name registry, is a database of all domain names registered in a top-level domain.
A registry operator, also called a Network Information Center (NIC), is the part of the Domain Name System
(DNS) of the Internet that keeps the database of domain names, and generates the zone files which convert
domain names to IP addresses. |

Dynamic web page |
Classical hypertext navigation, with HTML or XHTML alone,
provides "static" content, meaning that the user requests a web page and simply
views the page and the information on that page. However, web navigation can also provide an
"interactive experience" that is termed "dynamic". Content (text, images, form fields, etc.) on a web page can change,
in response to different contexts or conditions.

FTP |
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to exchange
and manipulate files over a TCP/IP based network, such as the Internet. |
| H |
HTML |
HTML, which stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. |
| J |
Javascripts |
JavaScript is an object-oriented[2] scripting language used to enable programmatic
access to objects within both the client application and other applications |
| P |
Perl |
Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic
programming language. Perl borrows features from other programming languages including C,
shell scripting (sh), AWK, and sed.[3] The language provides powerful text processing facilities without
the arbitrary data length limits of many contemporary Unix tools,[4] facilitating easy manipulation of text files.
It is also used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, applications that require database access
and CGI programming on the Web. Perl is nicknamed "the Swiss Army chainsaw of programming languages" due to its flexibility and adaptability |
| P |
PHP |
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor is a server-side HTML embedded scripting language that was originally designed for website development,
to produce dynamic web pages. It can be embedded into HTML and generally runs on a web server, which needs to be configured to process
PHP code and create web page content from it. |

Search Engine Optimization |
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of
traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results as
opposed to search engine marketing (SEM) which deals with paid inclusion. |
| S |
Server-side scripting |
Server-side scripting is a web server technology in which a user's request is fulfilled by
running a script directly on the web server to generate dynamic web pages. It is usually used to provide interactive
web sites that interface to databases or other data stores. This is different from client-side scripting where scripts
are run by the viewing web browser, usually in JavaScript. The primary advantage to server-side scripting is the ability
to highly customize the response based on the user's requirements, access rights, or queries into data stores. |
| S |
Shopping cart software |
Shopping cart software is software used in e-commerce to assist people making purchases online,
analogous to the American English term 'shopping cart'. In British English it is generally known as a shopping basket,
almost exclusively shortened on websites to 'basket' |
