I can google the definitions too, but I was hoping for some simple descriptions by our resident tech experts.

Purpose of this thread is that there's a lot of us non IT folks who are looking to build websites. Reha is a new example. Understanding some terms helps us put things in perspective.

But thank you. The link is actually better than what I was reading earlier.
