All of those pesky acronyms

In the world of technology, there are a ton of acronyms to describe various things. For example, I’m writing this post using a CMS (Content Management System), the text looks nice thanks to CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and I often write about things such as SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

I’m a big listener of the TechStuff podcast, and they recently put out a six-part series covering tech acronyms. They did a good job of covering what each one meant, why it matters, and how it might apply to you. I knew many of them, but I picked up a few great new insights along the way. If you’re wanting to increase your knowledge of tech, it’s a good series to check out. Here are links to each episode:

  1. From A to DLC
  2. From DLL to GPS
  3. From GPU to IRC
  4. From ISDN to P2P
  5. From PCB to SaaS
  6. From SEO to Y2K
