To create a website, you will need a text editor. As a last resort, you can use Notepad from standard Windows programs, but it is better to immediately download a text editor designed for creating websites, for example Notepad.

The main browsers Internet Explorer, Opera, Google, Firefox must be installed on your computer; to process graphics, a graphics editor must be installed, for example a free one Photoscape.

To upload your website files to your hosting, download and install an FTP client, for example a free one Filezilla.

Also install a simple animation program.

It is worth paying attention to the security of your computer. Having your own website requires frequent use of mail on the site, incoming letters to your mailbox, and visiting various resources on the Internet, so update your anti-virus programs constantly.

Clean and defragment your hard drives more often. Check and correct registry errors once a month.

A brief dictionary of computer terms.

The computer has long evolved from a high-tech device into a personal machine. There are almost no non-computer related industries left in the world. To keep up with the modern world, you must understand computers. Without knowing computer terms and concepts, you will remain far from the technological world. Even when booking a movie seat, you need to know how to use Internet. At work and at home, everywhere you need the Internet. USB drives are in fashion today, not CD/DVD drives. Let's start with some basic computer terms and concepts.

Computer- this is a computing device capable of using programs, that is, sequences of given commands.

Program is a sequence of commands launched directly from the computer, with the support of the operating system.

operating system- This is software that interacts with the computer at the primary level. Serves as a user interface and allows you to allocate memory for necessary tasks and processes. A computer cannot function properly without an operating system.

Team- These are step-by-step instructions that allow the computer to perform the necessary actions.

CPU, also known as microprocessor. It represents the central part of the computer, its brain. Allows you to perform software tasks and allocates memory space to accept information entered directly from input devices.

Desktop- a place directly displayed on the monitor allows you to quickly access the necessary files and documents.

File is a logical block for storing information, which includes: text documents, music, audio, spreadsheets, etc. Each file is saved with a unique name.

Folder is a one-stop place to organize files, topics, and projects on your computer. Similar files in a folder will be grouped together. A folder is like a bookshelf in a closet, if you think of files as books.

HDD- this is a device that allows you to store data on a computer, unlike RAM, it saves data even when turned off.

Hardware- a system that consists of a monitor, keyboard, mouse, system unit, printer, scanner, etc. Often called also computer hardware. They come into direct contact when the computer starts.

Hyperlink- a program that allows you to move from one web page to another, most often marked as. If you hover your cursor over it, you will see that it has changed, which means that with a mouse click you can go to another site.

Internet- a worldwide network created for the purpose of exchanging data, information and opinions.

Monitor- computer screen, its display. Displays the program interface to the user. Allows you to interact with your computer using a keyboard and mouse.

Mouse- This is an external input device that allows the user to quickly and conveniently interact with files and programs.

Keyboard is a peripheral device for interacting with a computer by entering characters using keys. You can see the result of your input on the screen.

RAM- a device for storing temporary information; when closing programs, information is deleted from RAM. Memory capacity affects the number of programs you can run simultaneously.

Browser is an application that helps transform the source code of the World Wide Web into a simple and user-friendly form. Simply put, a browser is used to surf the Internet. Microsoft Internet Explorer- the simplest and most famous example of a browser.

Periphery– peripheral input and output devices located outside the system unit. For example, peripherals are considered to be a printer, scanner, mouse, keyboard, game joysticks, etc. Some of the peripheral devices play a big role and without them stable operation of the computer is impossible.

Net- this is the connection of computers with each other for the exchange of information. Exist wired And wireless network. The best example of a network is the Internet.

Software are instructions for the computer to carry out a given task step by step. A computer cannot work without software.

This was a series of terms that allowed children to begin to understand the computer. Helping beginners master the computer. Computers have become an integral part of our lives, without which we will not be able to function normally in the modern, constantly changing world. Learning to use a computer is as important for a person as learning to read and write. Today people are increasingly dependent on software.

Hello! Dear friends, can you imagine your life without modern technology? I think not, and it is especially difficult to imagine the absence of a computer. The computer has taken a very important position in all areas of activity. That is, over the past decades, the computer has become a way to spend interesting leisure time, as well as an integral part in many areas of work: engineering, medicine, etc.

Many programs and computer “innovations” are developed abroad and distributed throughout the world. It happens that the program does not have Russian, but you will probably find English in the list of languages ​​when installing. So there is a need to know a basic dictionary of computer terms in English. In addition, many of the programs have a certain number of identical terms, which greatly simplifies the task of studying them, since they are found in almost all programs. Thus, it will not be difficult to remember their translation and meaning over time.

For example, in any program you will encounter

• open- open
• file- file
• error- error, etc.

In addition to the fact that many will find knowledge of computer terms useful in their work, others will also find it useful in non-professional work, for example, to install a program on a computer. Almost always during installation you will come across words such as:

• next- Further
• cancel- cancel
• to close all other applications- close all applications
• accept- accept

English computer terms Mastering a dictionary of computer terminology will improve your computer literacy. Those who use a computer for an impressive period of time mistakenly consider themselves “advanced” users. In fact, encountering any English term often becomes an insurmountable obstacle.

Another argument for you to learn a dictionary of English computer terms is the fact that many of them are borrowed from Russian. It is well known that the computer has become one of the reasons for the intensive use of Anglicisms in the Russian language over the last half century. For example, the word " feast" comes from the English words " peer”, which in translation means “accomplice” and has acquired a new meaning: a client participating in distribution in programs such as torrent.

Computer and global Internet system

As was said a little above, the computer and the Internet have become the reasons for the emergence of Anglicisms in the Russian language; they are changing the Russian vocabulary with amazing speed. You are right in thinking that there is nothing wrong with this. However, imagine that you hear the following dialogue on the street:

— I changed mine yesterday Avik, Jolie poured himself. And I set myself aku Best

• Avik (from the English “avatar”) - means a picture that serves as a “face” on forums and blogs
• aka (from the expression “also known as”, translated “also known as”) - means nickname, that is, the name by which a network user is known

— Okay, I'll keep you posted. What are you?

What is your opinion? Does this sound Russian? Of course not. All this resembles some kind of strange, ridiculous slang. Why did it happen? Yes, because many, due to ignorance of translation into Russian, began to distort English words, adding only Russian endings.

That is why today’s topic is relevant, since studying the information below will help you not to speak the fictitious half-Russian-half-English language. You will be able to maintain a purely Russian language, and if necessary, you will not be confused by the program in English.

Since everything flows and changes, and what I managed to find on the Internet is already hopelessly outdated and sour... I decided to create here a new modern dictionary of computer terms with all the ensuing consequences... Gaming slang has not yet been included in this dictionary, since our children swear too much in computer games clubs, and the dictionary will be mixed with profanity. If any of you would like to add something, please leave a comment in the comments as always. I will be very grateful to the authors' assistants. Let's make together the most complete and modern explanatory dictionary of computer terms!
