# Terminology

## Preface
|
|
|
|
Most terms for objects remain the same between 0.9 and 1.0. The major difference is that the ``Server`` is now called ``Guild``, to stay in line with Discord internally

## Introduction to Interfaces
|
|
|
|
Discord.Net 1.0 is built strictly around Interfaces. There are no methods that return a concrete object, only an interface.
|
|
|
|
Many of the interfaces in Discord.Net are linked through inheritance. For example, @Discord.IChannel represents any channel in Discord. @Discord.IGuildChannel inherits from IChannel, and represents all channels belonging to a Guild. As a result, @Discord.IChannel can sometimes be cast to @Discord.IGuildChannel, and you may find yourself doing this frequently in order to properly utilize the library.
