2. Cloud  Computing
   Cool…I want to know more about Cloud..Go on…
   Hold on folks! That is it for now J Stay tuned for more interesting
   cloud facts in the coming weeks!!
   What’s happening when we use the cloud?
   When we use the cloud, our computer communicates with the network
   of servers. Some of the servers are specialized for storage, while
   others use their computing power to run applications.
   Have I used the cloud?!
   Yes. You do! Today, we do all kind of things in the cloud. For example,
   whenever you check your email online, you’re using the cloud J

3. HTML5  –  Semantics
   Semantics HTML means your markup describes its
   content without presenting it!
   Content is more organized, search friendly &
   indexable!
   Semantics are meant to help browsers understand
   how to present your content better, whether it is
   being presented on computers, laptops or devices
   like Mobiles & Tablets!
   Semantics mandates that Elements, attributes &
   attribute values are defined to have certain
   meanings
   Semantic markup enhances accessibility,
   searchability, internationalization &
   interoperability.
