This is not a comprehensive programmer's glossary, but rather a set of definitions that may be of particular interest to enterprise application developers and architects. In other words, the terms in this glossary pertain to accessing data, developing components, and managing teams in large-scale corporate application contexts.

Many of these terms are defined more specifically in other places in the online documentation, particularly where they apply to specific tools.

Where this glossary refers to online information, you will find this information in the MSDN Library Visual Studio 6.0, which is included with tools in the Microsoft® Visual Studio™ suite.
