RGB value
Code for a color, in hexadecimal (
[0-9A-Fa-f]
)
notation. The code is comprised of
three pieces, which signify the level of red, green, and blue in the color. Each of these
pieces is either a 2-digit number from 00 to 99, or a 2-letter combination from AA to
FF. Absence of a color is 00 or AA; the maximum concentration of a color is 99 or FF.
For example, pure red can be denoted as 990000, 99AAAA, FF0000, and so on. Green
is 00FF00 and blue is 0000FF. The Web has several great resources for getting the RGB
value of colors; for example, see www.hypersolutions.org/pages/rgbhex.html.

server
A computer or software program with the role of serving. For example, a database
server (or

Apache or IIS returns HTML pages in response to requests, such as when a user
enters the Web page’s URL. An application server such as ColdFusion or JRun Server
handles the business logic of a Web application and can process all sorts of Web
languages beyond HTML; for example Perl, CGI scripts, servlets, ActiveServer Pages,
Enterprise JavaBeans, and so on. An application server can also act as a Web server,
but most developers use a specialized Web server like Apache to get extra features.

transmission.
