1. This is a quick way to learn Windows and Web
Technical Vocabulary: Open

then minimize (or tile) it, so that you have quick
access to it. Then, I suggest, browse the
list, top to bottom, for 10 terms that you think you need to
learn. (Use your judgement on this -- pick the terms
that you think you need! -- You can't go far wrong:
They are all helpful.) Then, in the space provided
below, explain the definition in your own words,
paraphrasing the given meaning. A side benefit of
this is that you become familiar with the way that Web and
Windows Applications writers work!
Use a format, shown below, of the term in
Capital letters, followed by your rewrite of the definition in
correct English format. Example: Definition
from vocab858.doc
ACTIVEX
A set of technologies that allows software components to
interact with one another in a networked environment, regardless
of the language in which the components were created.
Rewrite:
ACTIVEX --
a
programming technology enabling creation of powerful scripts
that can be embedded in
Internet Explorer. These scripts, such as
JavaScript, JScript, VBScript, allow use of multi-media
objects, among others, within HTML. When
an application containing ActiveX is run, a warning
similar to: "This program contains ActiveX components ... Click
here to allow it to run" is displayed. This enables video
and music players to operate.
I got help from

10 points per
word. I am just communicating here with you ...
there is a lot of knowledge and skills that you need to be
successful in today's economy! I am flat out
telling you to put your max effort into this course and
everything related to Info. Tech. The stakes
are high, and I don't intend to lose nor have you lose.
So work with me, and hit "Hit Performance" -- do an
"extreme quality and technology job" at everything you do!
For whose benefit is that? I will give you 10 points per
word for every "strong" definition. The test will be
-- Can it teach the concept to another student?
Award points, up
to 2,000 max, using the A/P form with the following notation --
10baset, 10applet, 10ASCII, etc ... You may do all 858 words,
and for that you will receive extra consideration.
Show me what you can do!
