A Partial List of ITE170 Technical Terms

These terms have been used in the handouts linked to from the schedule page, in the powerpoints on Blackboard, in the text, or in class lectures. Because these are technical terms, I will not answer questions during the test as to what they mean, that is, knowing them is part of the course. If a term is not on this list, I will explain it if requested. However, I will not explain the use of particular HTML tags, HTML attributes, or CSS properties or values. Terms are listed roughly in the order in which they appeared during the course.
