Here's
a list of website development technical terms used at proshay.com.
Just a little helpful glossary.
Object
A general term used to describe almost everything on the screen.
In a stricter sense, objects are used in an object-oriented
design.
Object-Oriented
An overused term, originally used to describe an advanced
method of computer programming. For example, the interface
in Windows is considered to be sortof object-oriented, because
files and most of the controls are treated as strict objects,
each having its own property sheet.
OLE Short for Object Linking and Embedding;
a method by which applications can share information. Basically,
it allows you to Cut something from one application and Paste
it into another, and then edit the object in place. This second-rate
technology (invented and pushed by Microsoft) has been known
to cause Pentium-class systems to behave like 286's, and is
responsible for much of the unecessary complexity found in
Windows and Windows Applications. See DDE and Marketing.
Operating
System The software used to control a computer and
run applciations. Windows, DOS, and Unix are all examples
of operating systems.Partition A division of a hard disk.
For example, a 500 megabyte hard disk can be divided into
two 250-megabyte partitions. Smaller partitions can be used
to further organize files and reduce the cluster size.
