Web animation
Web animators create animated movies and presentations for the web. Designers must understand the animation production process and software. Web animators must know the basics of animation, such as how much animation becomes too much on a web page.
Flash animation and animated banners are the most common forms of animation found on most web pages. Macromedia Flash and Adobe Image Ready are two industry standard web animation software packages. Flash is geared more for the animated movies while Image Ready is for animated banners.

Client-side application/scripting
Client-side programming describes any code/software/scripts that are designed to be executed by the web browser. Client-side scripting provides a broad range of functions.

Embed Object
A plug-in extends the abilities of a web browser. They are small pieces of software that allow your browser to display/execute additional files. Popular plug-in enable your browser to display animation, play audio and video, etc.
The term embedded object is typically used synonymously with plug-in. However, technically an embedded object is any page element that is not standard HTML/XML, web graphics, or other native Internet file. The line between the two has become blurred as browsers evolve. What was once a plug-in became a built-in feature. For example shockwave/flash used to be a plug-in but it has become so popular that many browsers now build the function into the off-the-self package.

Email form
A web form to e-mail script is a simple mechanism to implement a web form by turning the information submited into an e-mail. Web forms can be nice features on a web site. However, they require some level of programming on the server to handle the submitted information. A form to e-mail script is an inexpensive way of handling the data by writing it into an e-mail and sending it to a recipient.

Java Applets
Java Applets are small compiled Java applications that can be run within a web page. Java applets allow the power of a true programming language to be executed on the client-side (note: For security reasons some Java features are not available for applets). Applet's usefulness is extended by their ability to interact with JavaScript.

Web Optmise
Search engine optimizers condition your web site to place well on search engines. SEO's develop a list of target keywords, then optimize existing pages and create specialized pages for best search engine placement. SEO's also register your site/pages and monitor their placement to assure continual results.

Server-Side Programming
Server-side programming describes any code/software/scripts that are executed by the web server. Since these applications reside on the server they can interface with other server-side resources such as e-mail and databases.
