I found this diagram super helpful (and didn’t see the concept explicitly mentioned in your article). Looking at it, the terminology now makes sense: on a framework, you can “hang” your code — your code doesn’t make sense, but in the context of a framework, it becomes something useful. And your code references a library, which contains books=functions/classes — for your code to be useful here, others also need to be able to look up the library functions/classes/such.
