In today's lesson I learnt the development of certain technologies over periods of time such as a plougher, aeroplane, cinema, & the world wide web. In this lesson I was told to research any words I didn't know the meaning of or understand:

MS Azure:
Windows Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure, created by Microsoft, for building, deploying and managing applications and services through a global network of Microsoft-managed data centers.

MS Visual Studio:
Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It is used to develop console and graphical user interface applications along with Windows Forms or WPF applications, web sites, web applications,web services, and also Windows Store apps

MS Silverlight:
Microsoft Silverlight is an application framework for writing and running rich Internet applications, with features and purposes similar to those of Adobe Flash.

Adobe Dreamweaver:
Adobe Dreamweaver is a proprietary web development tool developed by Adobe Systems. Dreamweaver was originally developed by Macromedia in 1997, and was maintained by them until Macromedia was acquired by Adobe Systems in 2005.

Google Adsense/Adwords:
Google AdSense is a program run by Google that allows publishers in the Google Network of content sites to serve automatic text, image, video, or interactive media advertisements that are targeted to site content and audience.
Google AdWords is an online advertising service that places advertising copy at the top or bottom of, or beside, the list of results Google displays for a particular search query.

Adobe Photoshop:
A leading paint program from Adobe Systems, Inc. For many years, Photoshop has been the model against which other paint programs are compared. Initially, it ran only on Macintosh systems, which was a strong selling point for Macs, especially among graphic artists. Today, Photoshop runs on both Macs and Windows PCs.

Notepad:
Notepad++ is a text editor and source code editor for Windows. It aims to be a lightweight and robust editor for a variety of programming and scripting languages. 

HTML:
HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information that can be displayed in a web browser.

XHTML:
XHTML (Extensible Hyper Text Markup Language) is a family of XML markup languages that mirror or extend versions of the widely used Hypertext Markup Language(HTML), the language in which web pages are written.

HTTP:
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol(HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative,hypermedia information systems. HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web.

CSS:
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. While most often used to style web pages and interfaceswritten in HTML and XHTML, the language can be applied to any kind of XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL.

Static Webpages:
A static web page (sometimes called a flat page/stationary page) is a web page that is delivered to the user exactly as stored, in contrast to dynamic web pages which are generated by a web application.

Javascript:
JavaScript (JS) is a dynamic computer programming language. It is most commonly used as part of web browsers, whose implementations allow client-side scripts to interact with the user, control the browser, communicate asynchronously, and alter the document content that is displayed. It has also become common in server-side programming, game development and the creation of desktop applications.

mySQL:
MySQL is (as of July 2013) the world's second most widely used open-source relational database management system (RDBMS). The SQL phrase stands for Structured Query Language.

RSS:
RSS (Rich Site Summary); originally RDF Site Summary; often dubbed Really Simple Syndication, uses a family of standard web feed formats to publish frequently updated information: blog entries, news headlines, audio, video. An RSS document (called "feed", "web feed", or "channel") includes full or summarized text, and metadata, like publishing date and author's name.

MS dotnet:
The domain name net is a generic top-level domain(gTLD) used in the Domain Name System of the Internet. The name is derived from network, indicating its originally intended purpose was for organizations involved in networking technologies, such as Internet service providers and other infrastructure companies. 

WebServices: 
A Web service is a method of communications between two electronic devices over the World Wide Web. It is a software function provided at a network address over the web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing.

SOAP:
SOAP, originally defined as Simple Object Access Protocol, is a protocol specification for exchanging structured information in the implementation of Web Services in computer networks. It relies on XML Information Set for its message format, and usually relies on other Application Layer protocols, most notably Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), for message negotiation and transmission.

AJAX:
Ajax, an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript andXML) is a group of interrelated web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous web applications. With Ajax, web applications can send data to, and retrieve data from, a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page.
