EasyDefine was initially developed with the intention of speeding up the time people spend looking up vocabulary words. With this website there is no need to spend countless hours looking up definitions. All one has to do is copy and paste the word list and all the words will be extracted and defined. Definitions are taken from Princeton's WordNet 3.0. EasyDefine is coded in PHP, AJAX and javascript (jQuery), using a MySQL database to store word definitions. Graphic design was done via Adobe Photoshop CS3, and CSS.
