When I started working as a Junior UX Designer, I was a fish out of water. My knowledge about technology was limited. In meetings I would keep hearing these words, but had no clue what they meant. I’d get back to my desk and google what I’d heard, hoping no one would spot me!
Over time, I found there were lots of people new in tech having the same issues. I decided to compile an A-Z list of tech words with explanations in plain English.
