HTML 5

HTML5 is going to Rock....

HTML5 introduces a number of new elements and attributes that reflect typical usage on modern websites. Some of them are semantic replacements for common uses of generic block () and inline () elements, for example (website navigation block) and (usually referring to bottom of web page or to last lines of html code). Other elements provide new functionality through a standardized interface, such as the multimedia elements

The HTML5 syntax is no longer based on SGML despite the similarity of its markup. It has, however, been designed to be backward compatible with common parsing of older versions of HTML. It comes with a new introductory line that looks like an SGML document type declaration, , which enables standards-compliant rendering in all browsers that use "DOCTYPE sniffing".

HTML5 also incorporates Web Forms 2.0, another WHATWG specification.

New APIs

In addition to specifying markup, HTML5 specifies scripting application programming interfaces (APIs).[13] Existing document object model (DOM) interfaces are extended and de facto features documented. There are also new APIs, such as:

• The canvas element for immediate mode 2D drawing. See Canvas 2D API Specification 1.0 specification[14]
• Timed media playback
• Offline storage database (offline web applications). See Web Storage[15]
• Document editing
• Drag-and-drop
• Cross-document messaging[16]
• Browser history management
• MIME type and protocol handler registration.
• Microdata
• Not all of the above technologies are included in the W3C HTML5 specification, though they are in the WHATWG HTML specification.[17] Some related technologies, which are not part of either the W3C HTML5 or the WHATWG HTML specification, are
• Geolocation
• Web SQL Database, a local SQL Database.[18]
• The Indexed Database API, a indexed hierarchical key-value store (formerly WebSimpleDB).[19]
• The W3C publishes specifications for these separately.

It's just another post

Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.

Cloud computing is a paradigm shift following the shift from mainframe to client–server in the early 1980s. Details are abstracted from the users, who no longer have need for expertise in, or control over, the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them. Cloud computing describes a new supplement, consumption, and delivery model for IT services based on the Internet, and it typically involves over-the-Internet provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources. It is a byproduct and consequence of the ease-of-access to remote computing sites provided by the Internet. This frequently takes the form of web-based tools or applications that users can access and use through a web browser as if it were a program installed locally on their own computer. NIST provides a somewhat more objective and specific definition here. The term "cloud" is used as a metaphor for the Internet, based on the cloud drawing used in the past to represent the telephone network, and later to depict the Internet in computer network diagrams as an abstraction of the underlying infrastructure it represents. Typical cloud computing providers deliver common business applications online that are accessed from another Web service or software like a Web browser, while the software and data are stored on servers. A key element of cloud computing is customization and the creation of a user-defined experience.

Most cloud computing infrastructures consist of services delivered through common centers and built on servers. Clouds often appear as single points of access for all consumers' computing needs. Commercial offerings are generally expected to meet quality of service (QoS) requirements of customers, and typically include SLAs.[9] The major cloud service providers include Microsoft, Salesforce, Amazon, Terremark, and Google.
