I like keeping lines at 80 characters max. The frequent exception will be lines
that have to contain long URL's.

Note that each bullet-pointed link has two trailing spaces, to induce a line
break in Markdown.

For new files, let's use Train-Case (capitalize each word, separate words with
hyphens). Example: `New-File.md`

Please no tab characters; they sometimes format as Code Blocks. Please use 2
space characters. We have an `~/.editorconfig` to keep our many text editors on
the same page.

Note that links to headings need to include all words in the heading,
separated by dashes. The letters in the words need to be *lowercase*.
Example, link to the *On Commit Message* heading:
`[WhaTEveR yOu want the LINK to say!](#on-commit-messages)`.

## On Commit Messages

Please write descriptive commit messages. A message that says "Added
_some topic_ to _some file_" is far more useful to the maintainers and other
contributors than leaving the default "Update Some-File-Name" message.

## Terms

[A](#a) • [D](#d) • [F](#f) • [H](#h) • [I](#i) • [L](#l) • [M](#m) • [P](#p) • [S](#s) • [T](#t)

### A

#### API

API is an acronym for **A**pplication **P**rogramming **I**nterface. You can
think of an API as a contract between you and a computer program. This
contract guarantees that if you provide some specific information to a
computer program, the computer program will do some specific task. At
hackathons two kinds of APIs are usually discussed: web application APIs and
software library APIs.

In the case of **web application APIs**, the user provides some information to
a web application, and then the web application either changes its state, or it
provides the user with some other information. An example of a web API that
allows a user to change the state of the application is the [Twitter API](https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public).
By providing a Twitter username, the text of the tweet, and some other
information, users can use the Twitter API to post a tweet. The [Sunlight Foundation Capitol Words API](http://sunlightlabs.github.io/Capitol-Words/)
is a web API that provides information. If a user provides an English phrase to
the Capitol Words API, it will return to the user the number of times that phrase
has been said over time during US congressional sessions.

**Software [library](#library) APIs specify** how to use a software library, and
how a software library will behave within a computer program. An example
of a software library API is the [Array API](http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.0/Array.html)
in the Ruby programming language.


### D

#### Developer Evangelist
Also known as a **devangelist**, this person is a mentor, a teacher, a
programmer, an advocate, a translator. This position straddles the line
between engineering and marketing, explaining technology to a variety of
audiences, aiming to convince said audiences to use that technology, getting
excited about it.


### F

#### Framework
A standard structure of an application.

### H

#### HTTP
HTTP is an acronym for **H**yper**T**ext **T**ransfer **P**rotocol.


### I

#### IP
See [**Protocol**](#protocol)


### L

#### Library


### M

#### MVP
MVP stands for Minimum Viable Product - one with just enough features to satisfy early customers, and to provide feedback for future product development.


### P

#### Package

#### *Protocol*
A protocol is a system of rules that explain the correct conduct and
procedures to be followed in a given situation.

**For example**, the [**IP**](#ip) (**I**nternet **P**rotocol) defines a set
of rules to send and receive messages at the Internet address level.


### S

#### SDK
SDK is an acronym for **s**oftware **d**evelopment **k**it, which is a set of
dev tools that makes it easier for developers to make apps for a specific
platform (ie. iOS, Android, web...), package, framework, and more. SDKs are
similar to [APIs](#api), but one key difference is that all SDKs include or
are APIs, but not all APIs are SDKs.


### T

#### TCP
