HTML
HyperText Markup Language. HTML is the base code of a website. Written in tags using to set code apart from normal text, HTML tells the browser how to view your website. It?s fairly easy to learn the basics; it?s possible to learn the actual language in an hour or so. Putting the basics to use is a little harder, but time and patience can turn pretty much anyone into an HTML coder.
CSS
Cascading Style Sheets. If you thought of HTML as a gift box, or framework, CSS is the gift wrapping. The HTML says, ?this text goes here as a heading. This space is a sidebar. This box is the content.? CSS defines what each piece looks like: ?This header text is large and bold. The sidebar is blue. The content box is 500px by 500px.?
PX
Short for ?pixel?. Your monitor is made up of single points called pixels, which are used as measurement increments. Instead of ?two inches?, you might use ?200px? or two hundred pixels. The pixels of an image combine to show you the whole image.
PNG
Portable Network Graphics. PNG is an image format, like JPG (j-peg). PNGs are often used in website work. Instead of using an image with a white background on a website with a multi-colored background, the background can be transparent. All you see is the image, not the box around it.
CMS
Content Management System. Simply put, a content management system is a clean, organized file vault for your website data. A CMS can be set to specific user definitions with varying levels of security access to your core files. For instance, a website owner would have a higher security access than someone editing text. Good examples of a CMS are WordPress, Joomla and ExpressionEngine.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol. FTP makes it easy for you to make changes to your website on your computer and then upload those changes. Many HTML editors have FTP capabilities, but you may need a separate program, such as FileZilla or Fetch. Some kind of FTP program is essential if you plan to work on a website.
PHP
PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor and is a type of scripting language. Sometimes, a developer might want to write a separate file that?s only PHP. They ?call? that file in the web page with the use of PHP includes. The include tells the server ?get this .php file and put what it does here.?
CODE
Code is the universal term used to define the various tags, symbols, numbers and so on that combine to form a program or web page. There are thousands of coding languages and hundreds of web coding languages.
SCRIPT
Script is a subset of code. Scripts are the go-to guys that run repetitive tasks like auto-filling parts of a web form. They can also be used for more exciting things, however, like sliding or flipping images.
