It is used to transfer XML and other text data to and from a web server using HTTP - Hyper Text Transfer Protocol , by establishing an independent communication channel between a web page's Client Side and

AJAX (cont) AJAX Examples can be viewed here. Cloud Computing - There are various definitions of Cloud Computing. The simplest way to understand the same would be to describe it as an approach by which one could use flexible computing resources (calculations, storage, messaging) on the Internet as services accessible via the Web protocols. Flexibility would be via both scope (of operating systems, databases, programming environments) as well as via scalability with high web traffic & volumes. Flex - A way to develop Flash (an Adobe standard for creating rich Web content) applications by programming. It includes MXML ( a declarative XML language) for laying out user interfaces, and a programming language called ActionScript, a superset of ECMAScript (standardized JavaScript). SOA - The Acronym SOA in the Software World stands for 'Service
Oriented Architecture'.
It is a vendor-independent generic term used for enterprise information systems architectures that are based on designing and deploying web services (using technologies such as XML - eXtensible Markup Language
WSDL - Web Services Description Language and
UDDI - Universal Description, Discovery and Integration and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) - An XML based protocol for exchanging information between computers. Recent expert thinking indicates that SOA has to be viewed not just in terms of a technical orientation such as web services and the other terms mentioned above, but more as a business driven IT architectural alignment. ESA - European Space Agency - Software Development Methodology. ESA - In the broader software world, ESA stands for European
Space Agency.For more information on ESA's software development methodology used by Kaytek for our software projects, click here. |
SAP - Specific SAP - Systems, Applications, Products started off with A Product called as System R (subsequently renamed R/1). It then came out with an IBM Mainframe Version called as R/2 which still runs in many large organizations today. SAP R/2 was followed by SAP R/3, SAP's ERP solution for the Client Server Hardware Platforms. ABAP/4 - Advanced Business Application Programming Fourth-Generation Language or 4GL is SAP's Core Programming Language. ASAP - Accelerated SAP, SAP's suggested methodology for accelerated implementation. BASIS - SAP's Toolset for it's Operations and Administration.In the ERP world, ESA is SAP's acronym for Enterprise Services Architecture.
