Hypertext Text with references (links) to other text that the reader can immediately access "(...)'Hypertext' is a recent coinage. The English prefix "hyper-" comes from the Greek prefix "ὑπερ-" and means "over" or "beyond"; it has a common origin with the prefix "super-" which comes from Latin. The term "hypertext" is often used where the term "hypermedia" might seem appropriate. In 1992, author Ted Nelson – who coined both terms in 1963 [3][4]– wrote: By now the word "hypertext" has become generally accepted for branching and responding text, but the corresponding word "hypermedia", meaning complexes of branching and responding graphics, movies and sound – as well as text – is much less used. Types and uses of hypertext [edit] Hypertext documents can either be static (prepared and stored in advance) or dynamic (continually changing in response to user input, such as dynamic web pages). Hypertext can be used to support very complex and dynamic systems of linking and cross-referencing.

Google Cr-48 Chrome laptop preview (update: in-depth impressions!) Well, would you look at what showed up on our frigid doorstep this morning? That's right, we are now the proud owners of Google's first Chrome OS laptop -- the Cr-48. Obviously, we ripped open the box and got right to handling the 12.1-inch, Atom-powered laptop. So, what does the thing feel like? Mega update: We blew this thing out! Google Cr-48 Chrome laptop preview See all photos 31 Photos Cr-48: a second look See all photos 39 Photos Look and feel The Cr-48 may look like just any other laptop, but we can tell you right off the bat that it feels considerably better than most of those plastic netbooks sitting on store shelves right now. When we first picked up the 0.9-inch thick laptop we expected it to be a tad lighter -- according to Google it tips the scales at 3.6-pounds. Chrome is super limited on drivers right now, but we did mount an SD card and a USB flash drive -- there's just no dedicated, easy way to get to the file browser. Keyboard and touchpad Surprise!

Computer science Computer science deals with the theoretical foundations of information and computation, together with practical techniques for the implementation and application of these foundations History[edit] The earliest foundations of what would become computer science predate the invention of the modern digital computer. Machines for calculating fixed numerical tasks such as the abacus have existed since antiquity, aiding in computations such as multiplication and division. Further, algorithms for performing computations have existed since antiquity, even before sophisticated computing equipment were created. Blaise Pascal designed and constructed the first working mechanical calculator, Pascal's calculator, in 1642.[3] In 1673 Gottfried Leibniz demonstrated a digital mechanical calculator, called the 'Stepped Reckoner'.[4] He may be considered the first computer scientist and information theorist, for, among other reasons, documenting the binary number system.

WYMeditor - web-based XHTML editor - Home Leet speak Le leet speak (en leet speak : 1337 5|*34|<), de l'anglais « elite speak » (littéralement, « langage de l'élite »), est un système d'écriture utilisant les caractères alphanumériques ASCII d'une manière peu compréhensible pour le néophyte (appelé noob et déclinaisons) pour s'en démarquer. Le principe est d'utiliser des caractères graphiquement voisins des caractères usuels, par exemple « 5 » au lieu de « S », « 7 » au lieu de « T » ou de façon moins évidente « |_| » au lieu de « U » et « |< » au lieu de « K », sans respect de l'orthographe ou des majuscules. Ce système d'écriture se retrouve chez certains geeks technophiles, utilisateurs de jeux en réseau et demosceners. La graphie leet speak est née à la fin des années 1980, sous l'impulsion des programmeurs informatiques sur les bulletin board systems (BBS), moyen qui n'autorisait que des informations de type textuel. Le leet speak est un langage à plusieurs niveaux, c’est-à-dire qu'il y a plusieurs façons de coder un texte en leet.

XML background XML shares common origins with HTML and SGML. SGML or "Standard Generalized Markup Language" was issued as an international standard (ISO 8879) in 1986. It was intended for semantic markup that would assist computer cataloging and indexing. SGML provided flexibility that had not been available before and became very popular and was applied in many ways beyond the intentions of the original developers. It was, however, very complex and expensive. Brief history About 1990, Tim Berners-Lee at CERN developed a new, simpler language that could be used in place of SGML. In the summer of 1996, a working group at W3C was formed to create a markup language that would combine the strength of SGML with the simplicity of HTML. XML appeared just as the growth of the Web has increased the number of developers who demand the ease and flexibility that it provides. Presentation, Communication and Storage of Data The basic structure of XML is the document. XML does, however, actually go beyond documents.

C++ C++ (pronounced see plus plus) is a general purpose programming language that is free-form and compiled. It is regarded as an intermediate-level language, as it comprises both high-level and low-level language features.[3] It provides imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features. C++ is one of the most popular programming languages[4][5] and is implemented on a wide variety of hardware and operating system platforms. As an efficient performance driven programming language it is used in systems software, application software, device drivers, embedded software, high-performance server and client applications, and entertainment software such as video games.[6] Various entities provide both open source and proprietary C++ compiler software, including the FSF, LLVM, Microsoft and Intel. History As the C++ language evolved, the standard library evolved with it. Etymology Philosophy Standardization C++14 or C++1y are names being used for the next minor revision. Language Templates

Images de synthèse : palme de la longévité pour l’ombrage de Gouraud REST (Representational state transfer) Representational State Transfer (REST) is a software architecture style consisting of guidelines and best practices for creating scalable web services.[1][2] REST is a coordinated set of constraints applied to the design of components in a distributed hypermedia system that can lead to a more performant and maintainable architecture.[3] REST has gained widespread acceptance across the Web[citation needed] as a simpler alternative to SOAP and WSDL-based Web services. RESTful systems typically, but not always, communicate over the Hypertext Transfer Protocol with the same HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) used by web browsers to retrieve web pages and send data to remote servers.[3] The REST architectural style was developed by W3C Technical Architecture Group (TAG) in parallel with HTTP 1.1, based on the existing design of HTTP 1.0.[4] The World Wide Web represents the largest implementation of a system conforming to the REST architectural style.

Data (computing) In an alternate usage, binary files (which are not human-readable) are sometimes called "data" as distinguished from human-readable "text".[4] The total amount of digital data in 2007 was estimated to be 281 billion gigabytes (= 281 exabytes).[5][6] At its heart, a single datum is a value stored at a specific location. To store data bytes in a file, they have to be serialized in a "file format". Typically, programs are stored in special file types, different from those used for other data. Keys in data provide the context for values. Computer main memory or RAM is arranged as an array of "sets of electronic on/off switches" or locations beginning at 0. Data has some inherent features when it is sorted on a key. Retrieving a small subset of data from a much larger set implies searching though the data sequentially. The advent of databases introduced a further layer of abstraction for persistent data storage.
