ADO.NET (or the new ActiveX Data Objects technology) is the primary relational data access model for Microsoft .NET-based applications. It may be used to access data sources for which there is a specific .NET Provider, or, via a .NET Bridge Provider, for which there is a specific OLE DB Provider, ODBC Driver, or JDBC Driver. ADO.NET is sometimes considered an evolution of ADO technology, but it is important to note that some major changes were made between the two. ...more on Wikipedia about "ADO.NET"

Browser sniffing is a common technique used in websites and web applications in order to determine the web browser a visitor is using, and to serve browser-appropriate content to the visitor. This controversial practice is sometimes necessary because of incompatibilities between browsers in areas such as the interpretation of HTML, cascading style sheets (CSS) and the Document Object Model, or DOM. In principle, each browser must interpret these exactly according to World Wide Web Consortium specifications. In practice, however, no software developer has designed a browser which is adheres exactly to these standards. As a result, different methods have been developed to detect what web browser a user is working with. ...more on Wikipedia about "Browser sniffing"

In computing, a code segment, also known as a text segment or simply as text, is a phrase used to refer to a portion of memory or of an object file that contains executable computer instructions. It has a fixed size and is usually read-only. If the text section is not read-only, then the particular architecture allows self-modifying code. ...more on Wikipedia about "Code segment"

A computer program or software program (usually abbreviated to "a program") is a step-by-step list of instructions written for a particular computer architecture in a particular computer programming language. A layman equivalent example would be writing a step-by-step list of instructions in English instructing a human how to make a Peanut butter and jelly sandwich (the human being the specific architecture). More often than not, computer programs are compiled or assembled into non-human readable format. Executable uncompiled programs are referred to as scripts. ...more on Wikipedia about "Computer program" Are you ready for http://www.shortopedia.com?

Computer programming (often simply programming) is the craft of implementing one or more interrelated abstract algorithms using a particular programming language to produce a concrete computer program. Programming has elements of art, science, mathematics, and engineering. ...more on Wikipedia about "Computer programming"

Development Speed describes how fast a programmer can program. Most of the time development speed refers to the speed that a programmer can program with a particular programming language. It's a crucial factor of productivity of a programming language. Application speed is often compared with development speed when we talk about programming languages. e.g., Visual Basic has a high development speed but a poor application speed. C++ has a low development speed but a good application speed. ...more on Wikipedia about "Development speed"

Eager evaluation or strict evaluation is the evaluation model in most traditional programming languages. ...more on Wikipedia about "Eager evaluation"

Foundation for Open Project Documentation is a trend in computer software development. Its main idea is to create detailed and public documentation for all stages of software creation. The foundation was established in 2002 on the grand opening of the semifinals of ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest in Saint Petersburg by Anatoly Shalyto. ...more on Wikipedia about "Foundation for Open Project Documentation"

A gotcha is a feature of a system, a program or a programing language that works in the way it is documented but is counter-intuitive and almost invites mistakes because it is both enticingly easy to invoke and completely unexpected and/or unreasonable in its outcome. ...more on Wikipedia about "Gotcha"

(Gui4Cli) Gui4 Cli is a simple, freeware, event-driven scripting language with which you can easily create and control many types of GUI to use as stand-alone applications or as interfaces for other programs. It has many powerful commands and capabilities and a simple intuitive structure. ...more on Wikipedia about "Gui4Cli"

In computing, hand coding means editing the underlying representation of a document or a computer program, when tools that allow working on more sophisticated representation also exist. Typically this means editing the source code, or the textual representation of a document or a program, instead of using a WYSIWYG editor that always displays an approximation of the final product. It may also mean translating the whole or parts of the source code into machine language manually instead of using a compiler or an automatic translator. ...more on Wikipedia about "Hand coding"

A "hello world" program is a computer program that prints out "Hello, world!" on a display device. It is used in many introductory tutorials for teaching a programming language and many students use it as their first programming experience in a language. ...more on Wikipedia about "Hello world program"

iODBC is an Open Source initiative managed by OpenLink Software. It is a platform-independent ODBC SDK and Runtime offering that enables the development of ODBC-compliant applications and drivers outside the Windows platform. The prime goals of this project are as follows: ...more on Wikipedia about "IODBC"

Java Database Connectivity, or JDBC, is an API for the Java programming language that defines how a client may access a database. (To be strictly correct, ...more on Wikipedia about "Java Database Connectivity"

A listing is a printed list of lines of computer code or digital data (in human-readable form). In the early days of programming, it was used to hand-check a program and as permanent storage. Today, it is seldom used because display screens can present more lines than formerly, programs tend to be modular, storage in soft copy is considered preferable to hard copy, and digital material is easily transmitted via networks, or on disks or tapes. Furthermore, data sets tend to be too large to be conveniently put on paper, and they are more easily searched in soft-copy form. In selected environments, such as classified or other highly secure documentation, listings may still be used for secure transmission or storage. ...more on Wikipedia about "Listing"

In computing, locale is a set of parameters that defines the user's language, country and any special variant preferences that the user wants to see in their user interface. Usually a locale identifier consists of at least a language identifier and a region identifier. ...more on Wikipedia about "Locale"

Metaprogramming is the name of a management technique invented by Charles Simonyi (who also developed Hungarian notation) for organizing the work of a team of programmers. In a 2002 news item ** , The Age noted: ...more on Wikipedia about "Metaprogramming (management)"

A metasyntactic variable is either a placeholder name (a kind of alias term, commonly used to denote the subject matter under discussion), or a random member of a class of things under discussion. The term originates from computer programming and other technical contexts, and is commonly used in examples by hackers and programmers. The use of a metasyntactic variable is helpful in freeing a programmer from creating a logically named variable, although the invented term may also become sufficiently popular and enter the language as a neologism. The word foo is the canonical example. ...more on Wikipedia about "Metasyntactic variable"

A Micro-ISV (the term having been coined by Eric Sink) is an independent software vendor with just one software developer. In such an enviroment the company owner developers software, manages sales and does public relations. ...more on Wikipedia about "Micro ISV"

Minimal evaluation or short circuit evaluation is an evaluation strategy in which an expression is only evaluated until the point where its final value is known. In some cases, it is not necessary to evaluate all the parts of an expression. Consider the following example using the C programming language: ...more on Wikipedia about "Minimal evaluation"

MIX is the mythical computer used in Donald Knuth's textbook trilogy, The Art of Computer Programming. MIX's model number is 1009, which was chosen by combining the model numbers and names of other machines the author was familiar with. (Conveniently, the roman number "MIX" equals 1009.) ...more on Wikipedia about "MIX"
