Node.js is a server-side JavaScript platform that uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model rather than threading. NoSQL databases are useful for storing large quantities of non-relational data and enabling fast retrieval for tasks like analyzing website traffic or social media posts. HTML5 is the latest standard for HTML that introduces new semantic elements, media elements like <video> and <audio>, and forms while removing unused elements. CSS3 builds on CSS2 with new modules for effects like rounded borders, shadows, animations and multiple columns. Visual Studio 2011 features improvements for asynchronous programming, cloud development, HTML5/CSS3 support, and mobile development templates.

Node.js

In simple words is server-side JavaScript


Node.js uses an event-based server execution procedure
rather than the multithreaded execution in PHP. Intermediate level
knowledge of JavaScript, jQuery and Ajax are required.
How Does JavaScript Run On A Server?
Node.js works on a v8 environment it is a virtual machine or a
JavaScript engine that runs the JavaScript code, so for hosting you
cant use the ordinary web hosts. You will need the ones that have
the v8 environment.
Here are some provider suggestions for Node.js hosting:
1. bejes.us
2. Cloud Foundry
3. Cloudnode
4. DotCloud
5. Duostack

NoSQL
NoSQL database management systems are useful when working
with a huge quantity of data and the data's nature does not
require a relational model for the data structure.
The data could be structured, but it is of minimal importance and
what really matters is the ability to store and retrieve great
quantities of data, and not the relationships between the
elements.

For example, to store millions of key-value pairs in one or a few


associative arrays or to store millions of data records. This is
particularly useful for statistical or real-time analyses for growing
list of elements (such as Twitter posts or the Internet server logs
from a big group of users).

HTML 5
Introduced in 18 Jan 2011
By: Word Wide Web Consortium and WHATWG
WHATWG: The Web Hypertext Application Technology
Working Group is a community of people interested in evolving
HTML and related technologies.
Its core aims have been to improve the language with support
for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by
humans and consistently understood by computers and devices
(web browsers, parsers, etc.).
In December 2011 research firm Strategy Analytics forecast sales
of HTML5 compatible phones will top 1 billion in 2013.
What is HTML5?
HTML5 will be the new standard for HTML.
The previous version of HTML, HTML 4.01, came in 1999. The web
has changed a lot since then.
HTML5 is still a work in progress. However, the major browsers
support many of the new HTML5 elements and APIs.
Some rules for HTML5 were established:
New features should be based on HTML, CSS, DOM, and
JavaScript
Reduce the need for external plug-in (like Flash)

Better error handling


More markup to replace scripting
HTML5 should be device independent
The development process should be visible to the public
