  1. A Few Key Vocab Words That you should know! By Dr. Bowie

  2. Vocab Words • Human-computer interface: or HCI “the physical point at which the computer user and machine meet” (Jeney 5). • Servers: computers that are on 24/7 that store and deliver information like emails, web pages, blogs, and more. • URL: Uniform Resource Locator are the address we use to retrieve web page from the internet. This address tells our computers where to find the pages. • Node: the name for a “page” on a website. • Codex: Latin word for “block of wood”, but currently is the word used for the book format we use (separate pages bound with a cover). Can also mean the print form of a text.

  3. More Vocab Words • WYSIWYG: (pronounced “wizzy-wig”) stands for “what you see is what you get” and refers to programs that show you on screen what the user will see. For example, MS Word is a WYSIWYG program—since what you see on your screen is what the print document will look like. However, even the best WYSIWYG are often a bit “off”. Dreamweaver in design view is WYSIWYG, but not in code view. WYSIWYG Not WYSIWYG

  4. Even More Vocab Words • Internal links: links to page within your website. These do not have to be linked to with the full URL, but only with enough information to tell the computer where to look within the site. For example, if it is in the same folder it would just be the file’s name, like: “cat.html”. • External links: links to site or nodes outside of your website. The full URL is necessary for these links. For example, if you linked to GSU’s main page from your site it would be http://ww.gsu.edu. • Email links: These links open up a blank email from the user’s email client with the email address given by the link so you can write an email. May not work with all email clients. • Anchors: These links allow you to jump to a particular place on a page. These are normally internal links and you can use them to jump from one place on a node to another (say from the bottom back to the top) or from one node to a particular part of another node. These are very helpful and I use them on the class site (see the resource page links at the top for example).
