- APPLET – A self-contained mini-executable program, such as one written in the Java programming language.
- CODEC – Compression/decompression algorithms applied to media files.
- W3C – The World Wide Web Consortium. A consortium of many companies and organizations that "exists to develop common standards for the evolution of the World Wide Web."
- XML – Extensible Markup Language. A new standard for marking up documents and data. XML is based on SGML, but with a reduced feature set that is more appropriate for distribution via the Web. XML allows authors to create customized markup languages.
- DHTML – Short for "Dynamic HTML," a bit of marketing jargon used to describe the integration of JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets, and the Document Object Model. The term "DHTML" is falling out of favor because of its associations with an era of browser-sniffing and obtrusive scripting. The preferred (and more standards-oriented) term is now "DOM Scripting."
