API (Application Programming Interface)

A set of protocols that allows different software applications to communicate and interact with one another.

Array

Boolean

A data type that has one of two possible values: true or false.

Buffer

A region of physical memory storage used to temporarily store data while it is being moved from one place to another.

Cache

Class

In object-oriented programming, a blueprint or prototype from which objects are created.

Compiler

A program that converts human-readable source code into machine code or bytecode.

Concurrency

The ability of a system to handle multiple tasks or processes simultaneously.

Containerization

The process of packaging software code along with its dependencies to run uniformly across different environments.

Database

An organized collection of data stored and accessed electronically.

Debugging

The process of identifying and removing errors or bugs from computer hardware or software code.

Deployment

All the activities that make a software system available for use.

Encryption

The process of encoding a message or information so that only authorized parties can access it.

Framework

A platform or foundation that provides a standardized way to build and deploy applications.

Frontend

The client-side part of a software application that users interact with directly.

Git

A distributed version control system used for tracking changes in source code during software development.

Hash

A function that converts data of arbitrary size into a fixed-size value, often used for data retrieval and security.

IDE (Integrated Development Environment)

A software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development.

Latency

The time delay between a request for data and the response to that request.

Middleware

Software that acts as a bridge between an operating system or database and applications, or between two different applications.

Normalization

The process of organizing data in a database to reduce redundancy and improve data integrity.

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

A programming paradigm based on the concept of 'objects', which can contain data and code.

Open Source

Denoting software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified.

Parsing

The process of analyzing a string of symbols, either in natural language, computer languages, or data structures.

Protocol

A set of rules or procedures for transmitting data between electronic devices.

Query

A request for data or information from a database or information system.

Recursion

A programming technique where a function calls itself directly or indirectly.

Refactoring

The process of restructuring existing computer code without changing its external behavior.

Repository

A storage location where software packages, code, or data are stored and maintained.

Scalability

The capability of a system, network, or process to handle a growing amount of work.

Server

A computer or device on a network that manages network resources or provides services to other devices.

Syntax

The rules that define the structure of a language, including programming languages.

Terminal

A device or software interface that allows a user to input data to and receive data from a computer.

Thread

The smallest sequence of programmed instructions that can be managed independently by a scheduler.

Variable

A storage location paired with an associated symbolic name, which contains some known or unknown quantity of information.

Virtualization

The act of creating a virtual version of something, such as a hardware platform, OS, storage device, or network resources.

Web Scraping

The process of using bots to extract content and data from a website.

Zero-Day Vulnerability

A software vulnerability that is unknown to those who should be interested in mitigating the vulnerability.
