A software framework for an Open API that is a specification for machine-readable interface files for describing, producing, consuming, and visualizing RESTful Web Services. | |
Systems Architecture is a generic discipline to handle objects (existing or to be created) called "systems", in a way that supports reasoning about the structural properties of these objects. | |
Twilio is a cloud communications platform that provides a set of APIs for developers to integrate messaging, voice, and video capabilities into their applications. Twilio's APIs enable developers to add communication features, such as sending SMS messages, making phone calls, and handling video chats, to their web and mobile applications. | |
Unified Modeling Language is a standardized modeling language used to specify, visualize, construct, and document models of software systems, including their structure and design. | |
A Web application (Web app) is an application program that is stored on a remote server and delivered over the Internet through a browser interface. | |
Open standard (XML, SOAP, HTTP, UDDI, etc.) based web applications that interact with other web applications or users for the purpose of exchanging data. | |
REST - software architecture style with guidelines and best practices for creating scalable web services, SOAP, JSON-RPC, XML-RPC. | |
A set of basic functions of application programming interface for operating systems of Microsoft Windows families. It is the most direct way to interact with Windows applications. | |
Wireless Markup Language is based on XML. Used to specify content and user interface for Wireless Application Protocol devices, allows the text portions of Web pages to be presented on cellular telephones. | |
x86 assembly language is a family of backward-compatible assembly languages, which provide some level of compatibility all the way back to the Intel 8008. | |

Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol is a communications protocol based on XML for real-time exchanging structured data (text, voice, video, data) between network entities. | |
XML Path Language is a query language used to extract data from XML files. It also provides basic facilities for manipulation of strings, numbers and booleans. | |
Extensible Stylesheet Language is a language for expressing style sheets for rendering and transformation of XML documents. XSL shares the functionality and is compatible with CSS2. | |
Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations is a language for transforming XML documents into other formats (like transforming XML into HTML). The original document is not changed; rather, a new document is created based on the content of an existing one. | |
Information architecture (IA) is a science of organizing and structuring content of the websites, web and mobile applications, and social media software. | |
Network architecture is the design of a computer network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as communication protocols used. | |
