Hi everyone, my name is Enrique Dieguez Sanz. I live in Saint-Jérôme. I have been studying Computer Science for 2 years at Collège Lionel-Groulx. Il love playing with computers since I was born. The glossary that I made contain some words that I use a lot in my program. That could be useful for the new students or maybe students that use these worlds constantly in his program. Each word in this glossary could be easy to learn because we use them on her daily day basic, we take course online, so that mean, technology is always there. Believe me or not, by learning the meaning of these words you could maybe find some words that you use them on a bad sentence because you didn't know the right meaning,
