service application | is a program that runs in the background and does not have ANY GUI interface; it does not have any user interaction; it runs continually in the background doing something to maintain the system for the user |
Visual Studio | this is a code editing tool that you can create a Win32ShareProcess and a Win32OwnProcess while using |

initialization | is when a constructor method is called with the "new" keyword and the newly created copy of an object is assigned with the = sign to an instance name; dog2 = new Dog( ); |
declaration | is when a new property name is announced with its data type but it does not have to actually be created at that time; where it is announced determines the scope of the property though, whether local or global; examples: Dog rover; int score |
