| Glossary : ASCII |
|
American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII), is a coding standard that can be used for
interchanging information, if the information is expressed mainly by the written form of English words.
ASCII is a code that represents letters, numerals, punctuation marks and control signals as seven bit groups.
It is used as a standard code by the transmission of data. The values range from hex value 00 to hex value 7F.

| Glossary : Binary |
|
Refers to the base-two number system. The system contains only two numbers, 0 and 1. In computer-like circuits,
the presence of a voltage, current or other such signal indicates a "1" whereas the absence of the same signal indicates "0".

| Glossary : Bounce Rate |
|
The percentage of web site visitors who arrive at a web site entry page, then leave without going any
deeper into the site.

| Glossary : Boxing |
Boxing and unboxing enable value types to be treated as objects. Boxing a value type packages it inside
an instance of the Object reference type. This allows the value type to be stored on the garbage
collected heap. Unboxing extracts the value type from the object. In this example, the integer variable
i is boxed and assigned to object o.
int i = 123;
object o = (object) i; // boxing
The object o can then be unboxed and assigned to integer variable i:
C# Copy Code
o = 123;
i = (int) o; // unboxing

| Glossary : COM+ |
|
The "next generation" of the COM and DCOM software architectures. COM+ (pronounced "COM plus") makes it
easier to design and construct distributed, transactional, and component-based applications using a
multi-tiered architecture. COM+ also supports the use of many new services, such as Just-in-Time
Activation, object pooling, and Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) 2.0. The use of COM, DCOM, and COM+
in application design will eventually be entirely replaced by the Microsoft .NET Framework.

| Glossary : DCOM |
|
Short for Distributed Component Object Model, an extension of the Component Object Model (COM) that
allows COM components to communicate across network boundaries. Traditional COM components can only
perform interprocess communication across process boundaries on the same machine. DCOM uses the RPC
mechanism to transparently send and receive information between COM components (i.e., clients and servers)
on the same network. DCOM was first made available in 1995 with the initial release of Windows NT 4.

| Glossary : Adobe Flex |
Adobe Flex is a software development kit released by Adobe Systems for the development and deployment
of cross-platform rich Internet applications based on the Adobe Flash platform. Flex applications can
be written using Adobe Flex Builder or by using the freely available Flex compiler from Adobe.
Traditional application programmers found it challenging to adapt to the animation metaphor upon which
the Flash Platform was originally designed. Flex seeks to minimize this problem by providing a workflow
and programming model that is familiar to these developers. MXML, an XML-based markup language, offers a way
to build and lay out graphic user interfaces. Interactivity is achieved through the use of ActionScript, the
core language of Flash Player that is based on the ECMAScript standard.

| Glossary : GoTo 0 |
|
The default behaviour is for the interpreter to generate a message to
the user and stop execution of the program when an error is detected.
This is what happens with GoTo 0 error handling, so in effect GoTo 0
is a way of turning off local control and allowing the interpreter to
function as usual.

(Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python).

| Glossary : LINQ |
|
Language Integrated Query (LINQ, pronounced "link") is a Microsoft .NET Framework component that adds native
data querying capabilities to .NET languages. Microsoft LINQ defines a set of proprietary query operators that
can be used to query, project and filter data in arrays, enumerable classes, XML (XLINQ), relational database,
and third party data sources. While it allows any data source to be queried, it requires that the data be
encapsulated as objects. LINQ was released as a part of .NET Framework 3.5 on November 19, 2007.

| Glossary : MVC |
ASP.NET MVC is a Microsoft-supported framework for creating ASP.NET applications using a Model-View-Controller
pattern. In a nutshell, ASP.NET MVC allows developers much finer control over the markup rendered by their web
pages, a greater and clearer separation of concerns, better testability, and cleaner, more SEO-friendly URLs.
ASP.NET Routing is a library that was introduced in the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 that decouples the URL from a
physical file; it is used extensively in ASP.NET MVC web applications. With ASP.NET Routing you, the developer,
define routing rules that indicate what route patterns map to what physical files.

| Glossary : Mac Address |
|
Short for Media Access Control address, a hardware address that uniquely
identifies each node of a network. It is an identity code, which is built into
a network card and is typically made up of numbers and letters. The IEEE (Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) committee assigns blocks of addresses to a
network-card manufacturer. This procedure ensures that no more than one network card
share the same Mac address.

| Glossary : Method Signature |
|
In computer programming, especially object-oriented programming, a method is commonly
identified by its unique method signature. This usually includes the method name, the
number and type of its parameters, and its return type.

| Glossary : Overload |
| More Info: Learn Visual Studio.Net Video 2103 |
A feature found in various programming languages such as Ada, .Net, C++ and Java that allows the
creation of several functions with the same name which differ from each other in terms of the type
of the input and the type of the output of the function.
Public Function GetPersonInfo(ByVal v_sFirstName As String)
End Function
Public Function GetPersonInfo(ByVal v_lPersonId As Long)
End Function

| Glossary : Resume Next |
|
Resume Next error handling allows us to either pretend the error never
happened, or to check the Error object (called Err) and in particular
the number attribute (exactly like the early errorcode technique). The
Err object also has a few other bits of information that might help us
to deal with the situation in a less catastrophic manner than simply
stopping the program. For example we can find out the source of the
error, in terms of an object or function etc. We can also get a
textual description that we could use to populate an informational
message to the user, or write a note in a log file. Finally we can
change error type by using the Raise method of the Err object. We can
also use Raise to generate our own errors from within our own
Functions.

| Glossary : Silverlight |
|
Microsoft Silverlight is a web application framework with a scope similar to Adobe Flash but with a
greater focus on Line of business applications. Silverlight provides a retained mode graphics system similar to
Windows Presentation Foundation, and integrates multimedia, graphics, animations and interactivity into a single
runtime environment. In Silverlight applications, user interfaces are declared in XAML and programmed using a subset
of the .NET Framework. XAML can be used for marking up the vector graphics and animations. Textual content created
with Silverlight is searchable and indexable by search engines as it is not compiled, but represented as text (XAML).

| Glossary : Strongly Typed |
|
A strongly-typed programming language is one in which each type of data (such as integer,
character, hexadecimal, packed decimal, and so forth) is predefined as part of the programming
language and all constants or variables defined for a given program must be described with one
of the data types.

| Glossary : Unit Testing |
|
Testing of individual software components or modules. Typically done by the programmer
and not by testers, as it requires detailed knowledge of the internal program design and
code.

| Glossary : Value Type |
|
Variables that are based on value types directly contain values. Assigning one value type variable
to another copies the contained value. This differs from the assignment of reference type variables,
which copies a reference to the object but not the object itself. A reference type can locate in
managed heap and a value type can locate in stack.
