configuration database. A farm will contain multiple web applications.

application will be created for the SharePoint intranet, extranet or
internet site. A web application is where you implement and maintain
authentication.

Site Pages: These
are pages that supports user customization by designing tools e.g.
SharePoint designer. Some site pages are default.aspx, default.master
Application Pages:
Those pages which does not support user customization. These pages are
found in virtual -layouts directory. Application pages can be used with
any sites or site collection on same server.
You may find application pages at this location:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS
A content type
is a reusable thing provided by WSS. Content type defines the column
for an item in a library or list and same can be used for any library or
list in that SharePoint application.
For e.g. you are creating a list for
leave application then if you are creating column for HR department, IT
department then it does not makes any sense.
So used content type where you can
create your own column or site column (Given by SharePoint) and you can
use this content type with any list or library.
Business Data Catalogue: It is a middleware for your SharePoint site and back end data such as SAP, Siebel and any other Line of Business application.
In BDC you cannot modify data from your SharePoint list. It will be available to your site in read only.
In SharePoint 2010 it is named as BCS (Business Connectivity Services). BCS is two way, i.e. Data can be edit from SharePoint list as well from the back end data base.
Workspace is more specific to a site for e.g. you want to create annual report
CAML stands
for Collaborative application markup languages. It is in xml form. And
it can be sued to retrieve the data from SharePoint list as well to
update and insert.
Stsadm command is used to perform all administrative work like backup, restore, installing feature, adding web part to site etc.
Using the STSADM tool the following commands can be done:
Backup command:
stsadm -o backup -url http://moss:1985/ -filename c:\mysite.bak
