A programming language initially developed by Dennis Ritchie between 1969 and 1973 at AT&T Bell Labs. It is one of the most widely used programming languages of all time. Its design provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions.

An object-oriented programming language from Microsoft that aims to combine the computing power of C++ with the programming ease of Visual Basic. C# is based on C++ and contains features similar to those of Java.

The UNIX shell created by Bill Joy at the University of California at Berkeley as an alternative to UNIX's original shell, the Bourne shell . These two UNIX shells, along with the Korn shell , are the three most commonly used shells. 

An Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) language that is viewed by many as the best language for creating large-scale applications. C++ is a superset of the C language.  

Computer Associate’s (CA) SiteMinder is a centralized web access management system that enables user authentication and single sign-on, policy-based authorization, identity federation, and auditing of access to Web applications and portals.

In Microsoft program development, a cabinet is a single file created to hold a number of compressed files. A related set of cabinet files can be contained in a folder.  A cabinet file usually has the file name suffix of ".cab".

A component that exchanges digital signals with cable modems on a cable network. A cable modem termination system is located at the local office of a cable television company.  

Formerly known as DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications), is a standard interface for cable modems, the devices that handle incoming and outgoing data signals between a cable TV operator, and a computer or television set.

A component that transparently stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster. The data that is stored within a cache might be values that have been computed earlier or duplicates of original values that are stored elsewhere.  

The consistency of data stored in local caches of a shared resource so as to ensure that when one copy of an operand is changed, the other copies of the operand must be changed also.       

A method of tricking a computer into running Java code it would not ordinarily run. The method consists of placing code in the computer's local disk cache when the computer uses Internet Explorer in certain environments.

A random access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. As the microprocessor processes data, it looks first in the cache memory and if it finds the data there.  

A.k.a. domain name system (DNS) poisoning or DNS cache poisoning, is the corruption of an Internet server's domain name system table by replacing an Internet address with that of another, rogue address. 

A dedicated network server or service acting as a server that saves Web pages or other Internet content locally. Cache servers allow users to access content offline, including rich media files or other documents. 

Caching or Cache is a component that transparently stores computed data so that future requests for the same can be served faster. A Cache hit is a process of loading the data from the cache memory and a Cache miss is a process of fetching/recomputing data from its original storage location. Cache hit is comparitively faster than a Cache miss, which further results in the serving requests faster and improving the overall performance of the system.

CakePHP is an open source web application framework. It follows model view controller(MVC) approach and is written in PHP, modeled after the concepts of Ruby on Rails, and distributed under the MIT License
