RSS is the short for Really Simple Syndication, also known as Rich Site Summary). RSS refers to a group of XML based web-content distribution and republication (Web syndication) formats primarily used by news sites and weblogs (blogs). Any website can issue an RSS feed. By subscribing to an RSS feed, you are alerted to new additions to the feed since you last read it. In order to read RSS feeds, you must use a “feed reader,” which formats the XML code into an easily readable format (feed readers are to XML and RSS...

A plugin (plug-in, addin, add-in, addon or add-on) sometimes also called extension, is a computer program that interacts with a host application (a web browser or an email client, for example) to provide a certain, usually very specific, function “on demand”. Applications support plugins for many reasons. Some of the main reasons include: enabling third-party developers to create capabilities to extend an application, to support features yet unforeseen, reducing the size of an application, and separating source code from an application... ISP is the short for Internet Service Provider, a company that provides access to the Internet. For a monthly fee, the service provider gives you a software package, username, password and access phone number. Equipped with a modem, you can then log on to the Internet and browse the World Wide Web and USENET, and send and receive e-mail. An ISP has the equipment and the telecommunication line access required to have a point-of-presence on the Internet for the geographic area served. The larger ISPs have their own high-speed leased lines... Macromedia Flash is a technology that allows animations, interactive forms, games and other jazzed-up features to be embedded in web pages. Macromedia Flash Player is a well-known and trustworthy plug-in that users should feel comfortable installing. In fact, Flash is the most commonly installed plug-in on the web, more common than QuickTime, RealPlayer or Java. The Flash files, traditionally called “Flash movies” or “Flash games”, have a .swf file extension and may be an object of a web page, strictly “played” in a standalone Flash... JavaScript is a simple programming language used to make web pages more interactive. Once known as LiveScript, JavaScript’s name was changed as part of a marketing deal between Netscape and Sun. People talk about Java and JavaScript as if they were interchangeable, but they are completely different things. You do not need a Java runtime environment in order to use a JavaScript-enabled web page. JavaScript can be used with the Document Object Model (DOM) to create powerful web applications like Google’s GMail... Java is a technology that allows software designed and written just once for an idealized “virtual machine” to run on a variety of real computers, including Windows PCs, Macintoshes, and Unix computers. On the web, Java is quite popular on web servers, used “under the hood” by many of the largest interactive websites. Here it serves the same role that PHP, ASP or Perl might, although traditionally Java has been used for larger-scale projects. Java is a network-oriented programming language invented by Sun Microsystems that is...
