The Internet and The web

I really dont know what i'm doing but yea i'm going to try my best =P

Here we gooooo :
1) FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
File Transfer Protocol is a standard network protocol used to copy a file from one host to another over a TCP/IP based network, such as the Internet. FTP is built on a client-server architecture and utilizes separate control and data connections between the client and server. FTP users may authenticate themselves using a clear-text sign-in protocol but can connect anonymously if the server is configured to allow it.

2) Plug-ins
A plug-in is a set of software components that adds specific capabilities to a larger software application. If supported, plug-ins enable customizing the functionality of an application. For example, plug-ins are commonly used in web browsers to play video, scan for viruses, and display new file types.

3) Filters
A higher-order function that processes a data structure in some order to produce a new data structure containing exactly those elements of the original data structure for which a given predicate returns the boolean value true.

4) Internet Security Suite
Programs who can detect and prevent or even remove viruses from documents or in the computer.

5) Wiki
A wiki is a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a. Wikis are typically powered by wiki software and are often used to create collaborative wiki websites, to power community websites, for personal note taking, in corporate intranets, and in knowledge management systems.

6) JavaScript
JavaScript is primarily used in the form of client-side JavaScript, implemented as part of a web browser in order to provide enhanced user interfaces and dynamic websites.

7) Applets
An applet is any small application that performs one specific task, sometimes running within the context of a larger program, perhaps as a plug-in. However, the term typically also refers to Java applets, i.e., programs written in the Java programming language that are included in a web page.

8) HTML
HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. A markup language is a set of markup tags, and HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages.
The purpose of a web browser is to read HTML documents and display them as web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content of the page. HTML allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. It can embed scripts in languages such as JavaScript which affect the behavior of HTML webpage. 



9) URL
a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a Uniform Resource Identifier(URI) that specifies where an identified resource is available and the mechanism for retrieving it. In popular usage and in many technical documents and verbal discussions it is often incorrectly used as a synonym for URI. The best-known example of the use of URLs is for the addresses of web pages on the World Wide Web, such as http://www.example.com/.
