java
Java is a computer language that lets programmers
make stuff that works on any kind of computer --
PC, Mac, whatever. (If you've ever gone shopping
for software and found that the thing you wanted
was only made for one kind of computer, you understand
why people are psyched about this.) If you use Netscape
or Internet Explorer 3.0, your browser can automatically
run programs written in Java. Such a program could
be as simple as a "stock ticker" that
lets information scroll across a Web page, or as
complex as an entire game. Web designers like Java
because it lets them create things that will work
for everyone that visits their pages. "Java"
doesn't stand for a blessed thing. The people who
created it just thought the name sounded good.

JPEG
While GIF is still
the dominant graphics format on the Web, JPEG
is gaining ground fast. Many browsers can read
JPEGs, and Web page designers have started using
the format extensively. The advantage of JPEG
is that it uses compression to make graphics files
smaller (which means you spend less time waiting
for them to load). However, there is some image
quality lost to the compression, so don't expect
to see GIFs going away any time soon.
