Abbreviations are an inevitable part of being a web developer. HTML, CSS, HTTP, XML… the list goes on and on.

This Darth Sidious edition should be a fairly advanced test of your web development force-fu. Keep in mind that this covers the entire spectrum of the web, not merely code — so be warned!

    90% – Blast! Never heard of JIT, and totally forgot SOAP despite using it all day today :P

  • http://andrewburgess.ca Andrew Burgess

  • washington

  • jonathan

    Omfg,

    i got 75%, i forgot some of them or i’m distracted today. :D

    JIT ?! LOL

    • http://charlie.bz Charlie Somerville

      JIT stands for Just In Time, a compilation technique

      • Coz

        It’s also used to control stock in warehousing, that’s the only reason I’ve heard of it!

      • Robin

        @Coz is right, JIT is originally a term used in business engineering. It’s a production strategy that strives to improve a business return on investment by reducing in-process inventory and associated carrying costs. Just-in-time production method is also called the Toyota Production System.

        Damn. Who thought my study (business engineering) would be useful as a webdeveloper.. xD

      • Jonathan

        Yeah, i miss that! Damn!

  • https://github.com/dublinan Andre Dublin

    WOO!! 90% totally had to guess l10n

  • http://chrismorgan.info Chris Morgan

    i18n is not “Internationalization and Localization”. i18n is internationalization.

    l10n is not “Language Localization”. l10n is localization.

    • Antonio

      I agree

  • Alistair

    95% guessed 2, Googled 1 out of annoyance and like the earlier commenter’s annoyingly forgot SOAP!

  • http://www.agungsantoso.com Agung Pranoto

  • http://eichefam.net Paul

    100%. Oh yeah.

  • http://jorgeguberte.com Jorge

    85%. Didn’t know DES, SHA (i know what it is, use it almost on a daily basis but got the name wrong) and l10n.

  • jv

    95% woo

  • http://eliperelman.com Eli Perelman

    Sweet, 100% with no cheating :D

  • http://dannilsson.se Dan

    95% and I’m an bakery man…

  • Brainless

    0%!!! Not a single error.

  • http://benmartinstudios.com.au Ben

    I got 90%. For WAI (#12), I knew the answer, but in my haste I clicked on the wrong one ;) I had CSRF (#14) down to two and guessed (wrongly).

    What was up with i18n and l10n? I don’t think they mean what you think they mean. Do you have a source for those answers?

    • http://www.ssiddharth.com Siddharth
      Author

      l10n shouldn’t be an issue but for the former, I always thought it meant just internationalization but Wikipedia disagrees with me. So there you go.

  • http://benmartinstudios.com.au Ben

    I love how learner is capitalized but master is not :S
    “You are now not The Learner, but The master. You scored 100%”

      Maybe it’s my Jedi mind tricks? ;)

  • Darren

    90% – damn clicked the wrong answer by mistake for JSP!! Didn’t know what DES was. Still chuffed with that though.

    Have you taken the HTML5 Attributes in 5 minutes test yet – it’s brilliant. I had 70 remaining after 5 minutes and I think I did quite well. It’s tough. You, Jeff, and Mr Burgy should do well at it. http://thehtml5quiz.com

    Cheers,
    Darren.

  • http://www.wordimpressed.com Devin Walker

    JIT was a killer

  • Amayreh

    Got 95%, guessed some of them, I read about DDoS and other abbreviations yesterday in an article about Cloud security, the new abbreviations that I have learned was:
    DevOps, PaaS, SaaS, IaaS, DoS and AuthN/Z

  • Abhijit

    Somehow I got 100%! Was not sure about a few though :). By the way, I always thought i18n is for “Internationalization” and l10n is for “Localization”.

  • http://timhillrocks.com Tim

    85% I knew about half of these, but some of them were pure guesses. I was surprised it was that high. I’ll take it.

  • http://nightfirecat.right-0n.com/ Jordan

    Heard of some, but not of others, scored 95%. Pretty good, in my opinion.
    Definitely a fun quiz – I’ll need to go read up on the ones I guessed on! :)

  • http://blueco.ir/ طراحی سایت و سئو

    nice post tnx

  • http://www.gloverdesigns.com Richard G.

    BAM: 100%. :-D I do think your definition of TCP is a little off though, FWIW.

  • http://pinoyitpro.com pinoyitpro

    wow… got 100%… i’ve guessed 30% of them though… :D

  • Richard

    Correction to two of them:
    #4: The correct answer is just internationalization (i18n = internationalization, L10n = localization)
    #16: L10n is specific to localization, but the correct answer here too, would simply be localization

    Otherwise, awesome quiz. Got me 95% :-)

  • Ian

    Yay! Was afraid it would be embarrassing but made 90%. I think it was the i8n and i10n ones I missed because I have no clue. Guess I better google those. :-)

  • http://tatsujin.dk/ Kamp sport haderslev
