Learning computer programming terminology
Computer programmers use a range of terminologies that make sense only to them and to their colleagues. For other people who are not very adept with computers and programming, those words either mean something else or don’t mean anything at all. Here’s an overview of the ten most commonly used and confused computer programming terminologies that everybody should know, explained in layman’s terms:
1. 1GL means First Generation Programming Language.
2. Abandon ware are software that are not being used, supported, or sold by its respective publisher any longer.
3. ActiveX are programs using the Visual Basic programming language.
4. Beta Version. When a software, a website, or any application is tagged as a beta release or beta version, it means that that version is its first ever launch.
5. DirectX is a program provided by Microsoft. It is a collection of different multimedia applications and programming interfaces.
6. Emulation is the term given to the capacity of a certain program to imitate another device or program.
7. Firmware refers to the software that is implanted in a device or hardware.
8. HTML is hypertext mark-up language. It is the language used by web pages.
9. Java is an object oriented programming language.
10. Linux is an example of operating software in the likes of Windows and Mac Os. But unlike these two, Linux is a free open source program.
These are just some of the computer programming terminologies you should know so that the next time you come across them, you won’t guess what they mean. Programming can be a complex task but if you learn the basic things like terminologies, you will surely find the subject interesting.
