Useful Web Jargons....

FTP

File Transfer Protocol. Ability to transfer rapidly entire files from one computer to another, intact for viewing or other purposes.

HTML

Hypertext Markup Language. A standardized language of computer code, imbedded in "source" documents behind all Web documents, containing the textual content, images, links to other documents (and possibly other applications such as sound or motion), and formatting instructions for display on the screen. When you view a Web page, you are looking at the product of this code working behind the scenes in conjunction with your browser. Browsers are programmed to interpret HTML for display.

HTML often imbeds within it other programming languages and applications such as SGML, XML, Javascript, CGI-script and more.

IP Address

(Internet Protocol number or address). A unique number consisting of 4 parts separated by dots, e.g. 203.117.178.18. Every machine that is on the Internet has a unique IP address. If a machine does not have an IP number, it is not really on the Internet. Most machines also have one or more Domain Names that are easier for people to remember.

CSS

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet and is a technology for controlling the way that web pages display. CSS is generally a preferred method for controlling the way that web pages look because when used correctly it allows the designer to separate presentation from content.

Javascript

JavaScript is a programming language that is commonly used to create effects and enhanced interactions on websites. Although all modern browsers support JavaScript, they also make it possible to turn JavaScript off manually should the user wish to do so.
