HyperText Transfer Protocol is a protocol that standardizes the language for talking to web servers to send and receive web pages, or HyperText information (HTML pages).
A group of two or more computer systems linked together.
Able to send bits from router to router across long distances, but they are very expensive.
The amount of data (in bits) that can be sent in a fixed amount of time.
The capacity of data transfer in a system. Measured by bitrate.
The latency of a system is the time it takes for a bit to travel from sender to receiver. Fiber optic cables have low latency.
Defines how we represent numbers. Which digits we can use, and what each position (place ) in a number means.
The number system we use in out everyday lives. It has 10 digits, 0-9.
Number system that has 2 digits, 0 and 1. This is how computers represent numbers at the base level.
Number system that has 16 digits 1 - 9 and A - F.
A number system defines how we represent numbers. It defines which digits we can use, and what value each position (place value) in a number has.
The binary number system is the Base 2 Number System. It is a number system that only uses 2 digits (0 and 1).
Bit means "binary digit". A bit is a single digit in a binary number. A bit can either be 0 or 1.
ASCII is the standard protocol for encoding text information as bits. The ASCII table assigns a unique binary number to every text character.
The RGB encoding scheme allows us to encode colors such as numeric data. It defines the amount of Red, Green, and Blue light in a pixel.
A person or device that makes calculations, stores data, and executes instructions according to a program.
The physical components of a computer
Programs that can be run on a computer
Protocols for encrypting/decrypting information. Most cybersecurity breaches happen due to human error, not software bugs.

Command that lets you tell Tracy to move forward. In between the parentheses you need to put a number to tell Tracy how far to move forward.
turns Tracy left at a specified angle
turns Tracy right at a specified angle
determines how quickly Tracy will move through commands
Indentation is the visual structure of how your code is laid out. It uses tabs to organize code into a hierarchy.
Command to change Tracy’s color.
In Python functions, the function body is the indented block of code that comes after the `def my_function():` line. The function body is what will be executed when the function is called.
A message in your code that explains what is going on.
Breaking down (decomposing) your code is splitting it into more functions.
Top down design is a method for breaking our program down into smaller parts.
Pieces of information you can give to functions when you define them. When the function is called the arguments are the data you pass into the function's parameters. Parameter is the variable in the declaration of the function. Argument is the actual value of this variable that gets passed to the function.
An if statement lets you ask a question to the program and only run code if the answer is true.
A control flow tool used as a second condition check after an if statement. It is a contraction of else if.
Control structure that lets us run either one section of code or another depending on a test.
Command that lets you tell Tracy to move backward. In between the parentheses you need to put a number to tell Tracy how far to move backward.

Command that tells tracy to turn left and in between parentheses, how many degrees to turn left.
A function that prints a prompt and retrieves text from the user.
A function is like a command that you get to invent and name. It allows us to break our program into smaller parts, making the program easier to understand.
A particular sequence of actions that a user takes to accomplish a particular task
A can-do attitude in which a person views challenges and setbacks as ways to learn rather than terminal obstacles in their path to their goal
Stands for "User Experience". Describes all aspects of a user's experience with the product.
