| application programming interface | 應用程式開發介面 (A set of routines that an application uses to request and carry out lower-level services performed by a computer's operating system. These routines usually carry out maintenance tasks such as managing files and displaying information) |
| cache-aside programming pattern | 另行快取程式設計模式 (A programming pattern in which if the data is not present in the cache, the application, not the distributed cache system, must reload data into the cache from the original data source) |
| Cryptography Application Programming Interface | 加密應用程式開發介面 (An (API) that is provided as part of Microsoft Windows. CryptoAPI provides a set of functions that allow applications to encrypt or digitally sign data in a flexible manner while providing protection for the user's sensitive private key data. Actual cryptographic operations are performed by independent modules known as (CSPs)) |
| declarative programming | 宣告式程式設計 (Rule-based programming in which each rule is independent and the order in which rules are declared or executed is not significant) |
| generic programming | 泛型程式設計 (Programming using parametric polymorphism) |
| Generic Security Services Application Programming Interface | 一般安全性服務應用程式開發介面 (A generic API for performing client-server authentication that can be implemented over any authentication system. GSS-API makes it possible for applications to use the same API with different authentication mechanisms) |
| Internet Server Application Programming Interface | 網際網路伺服器應用程式開發介面 (An application programming interface (API) that resides on a server computer for initiating software services tuned for Windows operating systems. In Microsoft Provisioning System, ISAPI resides on the Web server) |
| Messaging Application Programming Interface | 訊息應用程式開發介面 (A messaging architecture that enables multiple applications to interact with multiple messaging systems across a variety of hardware platforms. MAPI is built on the Component Object Model (COM) foundation) |
| programming language | 程式設計語言 (An artificial language that specifies instructions to be executed on a computer. The term covers a wide spectrum, from binary-coded machine language to high-level languages) |
| Windows Internet application programming interface | Windows 網際網路應用程式開發介面 (A Windows application programming interface (API) that enables applications to interact with Gopher, FTP, and HTTP protocols to access Internet resources) |
