Small, standardized string of characters added to the beginning of a variable’s name to indicate its data type, scope, or purpose. This convention, known as Hungarian notation, was historically used to help developers understand variables at a glance but is less common today due to modern IDEs that highlight variable information. Examples include i for integer, s for string, m_ for a member variable, and g_ for a global variable.

VPNs are used by both individuals for personal browsing and by businesses to allow remote employees to securely access private networks.
Type of virtual server that runs on a physical machine but is separated from other users. This gives you full control over the operating system and configuration, similar to a dedicated server, but at a more affordable price because resources are shared.
Software stack that provides a local development environment for web development on a Windows operating system.
International standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that provides recommendations for making web content, applications, and digital information accessible to people with various disabilities, such as visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive impairments.

Web browser scripting language object that allows requests to be sent to a web server using the HTTP protocol. A characteristic feature of XHR is the ability to execute requests after the web page has been loaded during interaction with the user. The responses received from the server are then used to modify the loaded document. The ability to execute requests asynchronously means that they are performed in the background and do not interrupt the user’s interaction with the page, dynamically changing it. The content of the server’s response is most often transmitted in XML, JSON, or plain text formats.
Uuniversal markup language designed to represent various data in a structured way. It is a markup language and file format for storing, transferring, and reconstructing any data. It is platform-independent, which allows for easy exchange of documents between heterogeneous (different) systems and has significantly contributed to the popularity of this language in the Internet age.
Human-readable data serialization language that is often used for writing configuration files. Depending on whom you ask, YAML stands for yet another markup language or YAML ain’t markup language (a recursive acronym), which emphasizes that YAML is for data, not documents.
Open-source, high-performance PHP web application framework based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern. It is designed for rapid development of modern web applications, providing reusable components and tools to streamline tasks like database access, authentication, and form handling. Yii is known for its speed, security, and suitability for creating large-scale applications such as portals, content management systems (CMS), and e-commerce sites.
