NYC CTO Tech Glossary
A now deprecated glossary of tech terms from the Mayor's CTO office

**We know the words we use don't always translate.** The technology industry is built on new and emerging concepts, meaning terms continually appear, change, and phase out. Those that do stick around can be technical and hard to understand. This glossary is our attempt to clarify some terms that are currently fundamental to our work and often confusing to the public (and occasionally to us).
