Here's
a list of website development technical terms used at proshay.com.
Just a little helpful glossary.
Impression A single display of an online
advertisement.
Inbound link A link from a site outside
of your site.
Interface
The method by which you control anything. The screen is the
interface to your computer, just as a dashboard is the interface
to your car, just as a doorknob is the interface to a door.
See User Interface.
Internet
An term used incorrectly to describe the World Wide
Web - the Internet is a WAN, and a superset of the World Wide
Web. Originally connecting a few universities and the United
States government, it was designed to provide a network that
could withstand a war, because of its decentralized structure.
See email, telnet, and ftp.
Interrupt
A method by which a piece of hardware communicates with the
processor. It's called interrupt, because the device (such
as a sound card) interrupts the computer to carry out a function
(such as playing a sound).
IRQ
Short for Interrupt Request Line; A number used to
describe an interrupt. An IRQ can be any number from 0 to
15, inclusive. IRQ problems occur because two pieces of hardware
try to use the same IRQ. (more information)
ISP
Short for Internet Service Provider; these are the folks who
bill you for access to the Internet. If you have free Internet
access through a university, then the university is your ISP.
Tip: look for an ISP that doesn't charge by the hour!
Image
Maps - A single image broken up into parts, or slices.
These are often used for navigation. Different areas of a
single image can be linked to different pages. Image maps
are fine to use, as long as accompanying text links and ample
body copy is included as well on all pages.
Incoming
link - A link on another web site that is to your
web site.
Indexing
- The act of a search engine spider listing your site in its
database so it will show up in search results
