Personal Portfolio about Glossary

1.      Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is referred to technologies that provide access to information through telecommunications. It is similar to Information Technology (IT) but focuses primarily on communication technologies. This includes the Internet, wireless networks, cell phones, and other communication medium.
ICT commonly means more than its list of components, though. It also encompasses the application of all those various components. It's here that the real potential, power and danger of ICT can be found. Although ICT is often considered an extended synonym for information technology (IT), its scope is broader. ICT has more recently been used to describe the convergence of several technologies and the use of common transmission lines carrying very diverse data and communication types and formats.

2.      Backlinks

A “backlink” is one of the most used words in the world of search engine optimization (SEO). Backlinks, also called "inbound links" or "incoming links," are created when one website links to another. It is used to increase a site’s popularity with search engines and to get more people to visit your site. 

Why it is important for you to create backlinks to your site:
1. Improves Organic Ranking: Backlinks help in getting better search engine rankings. If any of your content is getting organic links from other sites, that content will naturally rank higher with search engines. Your goal should be to create links to individual posts/pages along with those leading to your homepage.
2. Faster Indexing: Backlinks help search engine bots discover links to your site and crawl your site effectively. Especially for a new website, it is important to get backlinks as they help in the faster discovery and indexing of your site.
3. Referral Traffic: One of the major benefits of backlinks is that they help get referral traffic. Usually, referral traffic is targeted and has a low bounce rate.

3.      Mashup Application

Mashup is a technique by which a website or Web application uses data, presentation or functionality from two or more sources to create a new service. Mashups are made possible via Web services or public APIs that (generally) allow free access. Most mashups are visual and interactive in nature. A mashup is beneficial to developers because it requires less code, allowing for a quicker development cycle.

Mashup frequently mentioned in the same context as cloud computing and Web 2.0. This is because the previous Web 1.0 was more about simply getting online. In other words, they took what they did offline and put it online. Web 2.0 implies greater collaboration between websites, and greater interaction with website users. In fact, website might be the wrong term; as more and more functionality is provided via the browser, Web application is becoming a better description. 

A great example of this is Google Maps, which has spawned hundreds, if not thousands, of mashup applications. These include applications that use Google Maps to rate areas in a city, delineate points of interest, or show roads that are undergoing construction. These applications take some of the functionality and data from Google Maps and combine it with their own programming to create a new application.

4.      Templates


A template is a starting point for a document that contains initial formatting options, settings, colours, layout and placeholders. A typical blank document begins with the "Normal" template, but sometimes it is a time saver, to begin with, a preformatted template when creating a more advanced document (such as a brochure or flyer). 
The term template, when used in the context of word processing software, refers to a sample document that has already some details in place; those can be adapted (that is added/completed, removed or changed, differently from a fill-in-the-blank approach as in a form) either by hand or through an automated iterative process, such as with a software assistant. Once the template is completed, the user can edit, save and manage the result as an ordinary word processing document. Word processing templates enable the ability to bypass the initial setup and configuration time necessary to create standardized documents such as a resume. They also enable the automatic configuration of the user interface of the word processing software, with features such as autocompletion, toolbars, thesaurus, and spelling options.

Word processing templates are ordinarily included as a regular feature in most word processing software. In addition, users of such software often have the option to create and save their own templates, to acquire them from the original vendor of the software, or from third parties.
