A Comprehensive Guide to Web Terminology

Posted on 24. Mar, 2010 by Robert Bowen in Coding, Design 16 Comments and 2 Reactions

When I was a trainer for a corporate restaurant chain, one area we would always focus on during the beginning of our training classes was the basic restaurant terminology. The reason being, that after working in an arena for a while we tend to take the terminology that goes along with the task for granted as just widely accepted common knowledge. We think everyone knows what we mean when we talk about div tags, design briefs, and splash pages because in the circles we tend to populate, most do. But when you are just getting started, it can be easy to get a bit lost in the lingo, and beyond that, not being aware of the non-commonality of our terminology can impact our client relationships.
Without this awareness of how much of our speech is ingrained in our industry, we forget when communicating with those outside said industry that they may not be following much of what we are saying. And though you do want your clients to know that you know just what it is you are talking about, you also want them to know just what it is that you are talking about. So be sure that you are familiar with which terms tend to only make sense to those in your field, to keep your client conversations on track and from veering into somewhat job-specific, proprietary directions.

File Backup Terminology: What do terms like “Differential,” & “Incremental,” mean, and how will they help me?

Updated 19. September 2011 - 6:32 by Ritho
Introduction
Over the years various backup technologies have been developed in an attempt to minimize the amount of space required to store backup files, and to reduce the bandwidth required to transfer those files to remote locations. When faced with the different backup methods that many programs offer, it is easy to become confused, since the terminology used is often not very clear, and it is hard to know the benefits or drawbacks of any one technology. This article is meant to be a simple guide to help cut down on the frustration that many experience when they don’t know what certain terms mean, and how different options are best used.
Note: This is not, by far, an exhaustive glossary of backup terms. If you have questions about any terms that are not covered below, please feel welcome to ask in the comment section, and we will attempt to answer them for you.
