In US notation, dc means insert the hook into the indicated stitch, yoh and pull through, yoh and pull through 2 loops on hook. It produces a short, compact stitch, and if you work large sections of it you get a fairly dense fabric with no holes.

What does post mean in crochet?

The word "post" in crochet is referring to the whole stitch--generally a "tall" stitch (such as a double crochet, triple crochet, etc).The reason the instructions refer to the stitch in the row below, is so the crocheter understands that you are to stitch around the stitch below--the "post" of the stitch. Otherwise, if the instructions stated that you were to double crochet the next stitch, you would understand that you would be double crocheting into the top of the stitch below, versus crochet around the length of the stitch.You also notice that the instructions will say to "back post double crochet (bpdc)" which means to bring your stitch around the post from the back position. So, "front post, double crochet (fp dc)" would mean to bring your stitch in from the front side of your work.

How do you make first chain of any double crochet row look like double crochet rather than a chain 3 or 4 stitch?

To make the first chain of a double crochet row look like a double crochet stitch rather than a chain 3 or 4, you can use a technique called the "chainless double crochet." Instead of chaining, yarn over and pull up a loop in the first stitch, then yarn over again and complete the double crochet as usual. This technique creates a more seamless transition that visually matches the height and appearance of the double crochet stitches in the row.
