Sometimes being an entry level developer in the IT industry is not as easy as it seems. So I have
created this cheat sheet containing different terminologies used in the industry. (I'm a Dot Net developer, so a lot of this will solely be applicable in that environment.)
Please feel free to comment if I need to add something to this list or expand on it.
