FTP

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol

It is a protocol used to transfer file from a host to another place. For example, when we want to publish a website in the web hosting. We can use FTP to transfer the file from our computer (client) to the web hosting. The file transfered will not disappeared from the client side. It is actually make another copy to the web hosting (server).



The definition from Wikipedia states that
"File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to copy a file from one host to another over a TCP/IP-based network,
such as the Internet.
FTP is built on a client-server architecture and utilizes separate control and data connections between the client and server."

RSS

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication (aka Rich Site Summary).

The idea states that it is time consuming and inconvenient for the user to check if there is any update for their favourite site. They might end up with getting zero updates.

RSS solves this problem. What a user need to do is just to subscribe their favourite sites by clicking the feed icon. Getting a RSS reader and it's all done. Users will be notified when any update is detected. The feed reader usually will show the posts or updated materials.

Here's the idea




But too bad, so far I found that feed readers available now,like iGoogle,Google Reader are not well organised.I just don't like the layout.

My friend introduced me Feedly. It is not bad in layout.
However it works together with Google Reader.
Still searching if there is any better choice available.

Front End Developer

Front end team basically are people who create the looks and design of an application. From my understanding, they design the layout of the application.Where as back end team will manage the applications logic.

So for front end developers, they involved in HTML, CSS, even JS. Of course, Photoshop etc is involved.
