I am trying to understand classification/naming of scripts,
I havent found any software vocabulary online that I can read,
I have many scripts which my own, and from open sources.
I want to put my script to correct folders.

Whats difference between those concepts in practice?

Plugins are the complete programs and these can be installed in your system and can be used in browser whereas add-ons are not complete programs ,these are used to add functionality to your browser. for example, Flash Player is a plugin which can be installed in your system as well in browser to play video, InPrivate Filtering is an add-on which is used in some browser to provide privacy. So, add-ons provide additional and limited functionality to your browser.

  • by helper, do you mean browser helper objects? – RajputAdya Feb 14 '13 at 20:21
  • No, not browser helper object, just word of Helper in coding vocabulary – Digerkam Feb 14 '13 at 20:30

    ok, helper classes are normal classes which we can write to provide functionality to our code.Like, you are reading a file which is containing some pattern and there are many files which are used in your application then you will write a separate class for that pattern and now you can use that class anywhere ,where you want to read that pattern. – RajputAdya Feb 14 '13 at 20:37

  • I think you misunderstood my question, it is not about plugins, or addons of browser or, other softwares. I mean the type of scripts.. – Digerkam Feb 15 '13 at 07:35
  • No sir, i did not misunderstood your question, plugins and addons meanings are same in scripts as well. :) – RajputAdya Feb 15 '13 at 14:19
