Java: A programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. Although Java uses syntax very similar to C, it is more similar to a language called SmallTalk. The nice part about Java is it is platform independent. No matter what computer or device you write the program on, it will look the same on all computers, cell-phones, whatever. Furthermore, the files don't need to be compiled to a specific computer, just to a virtual machine.
JavaScript: A just-in-time language used to make web pages more interactive. Aside from the name, it has nothing in common with Java. JavaScript is actually an extention of what was called ECMAScript, but that is rarely used. JavaScript's syntax is very similar to C.
Jump Drives: Lexar's name for USB drives.
Just-in-time: Programming language that is not compiled. A web page is a prime example of this in action.
