Green computing and green IT

Green computing is the environmentally responsible and eco-friendly use of computers and
their resources. In broader terms, it is also defined as the study of designing, engineering,
manufacturing, using and disposing of computing devices in a way that reduces their
environmental impact. Green computing aims to attain economic viability and improve the
way computing devices are used.
Green computing is also known as green information technology (green IT). Green IT
practices include the development of environmentally sustainable production practices,
energy-efficient computers and improved disposal and recycling procedures.
Python
Python is a multi-paradigm, general-purpose, interpreted, high-level programming language.
Python allows programmers to use different programming styles to create simple or complex
programs, get quicker results and write code almost as if speaking in a human language.
Python is a multi-paradigm language, Python programmers can accomplish their tasks using
different styles of programming: object oriented, imperative, functional or reflective. Python
can be used in Web development, numeric programming, game development, serial port
access and more.
HTML or HTML5
Hypertext markup language (HTML) is the major markup language used to display Web
pages on the Internet. In other words, Web pages are composed of HTML, which is used to
display text, images or other resources through a Web browser. All HTML is plain text,
meaning it is not compiled and may be read by humans. The file extension for an HTML file
is .htm or .html. HTML is used with other technologies because all HTML really does is
organize documents.
Hypertext Markup Language revision 5 (HTML5) is markup language for the structure and
presentation of World Wide Web contents. HTML5 supports the traditional HTML and
XHTML-style syntax and other new features in its markup, New APIs, XHTML and error
handling.
Java
Java is a programming language that produces software for multiple platforms. When a
programmer writes a Java application, the compiled code (known as bytecode) runs on most
operating systems (OS), including Windows, Linux and Mac OS. Java derives much of its
syntax from the C and C++ programming languages. Prior to Java applets, Web pages were
typically static and non-interactive.
XML
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a universal format, maintained by the W3C, used for
representation and transfer of structured data on the web or between different applications.
The language uses a structured representation by allowing users to create custom defined tags
according to XML Document Type Definition (DTD) standards. The structure of an XML
document can be represented in the form of a tree known as a Document Object Model
(DOM). XML is designed to describe data but is not concerned with the data’s visualization.
The tags created in XML are self-explanatory and the user is free to define their own tags —
hence the “extensible.”
Web surfing
On the World Wide Web, surfing means to move from one Web page to another, usually in
an undirected manner. When surfing, the user typically visits pages based on what interests
him/her at the moment. Surfing is an activity that started with the advent of the World Wide
Web. With hypertext links, users can go not only from one part of a document to another, but
also from one document to another, including those located in remote sites.
