Developing your website involves a number of processes and steps. The first and foremost is careful planning, creative thinking and smart and easy execution of the website. Since this is the initial step, the web developers should pay considerable attention and design the website step by step. The first stage in building a website is designing the site. The history of Internet is not very old in India. But though it is quite new, it has made its presence felt in all spheres in the country. Along with the progress of internet, the development of the techniques and skills required for developing and designing websites has also made rapid progress in India.

The 'social media product development' group at Tekriti had started looked at medium other than web from the last year, and iPhone and Blackberry applications were one of the first ones to have been targeted. There have been a few interesting applications done on phone for the customers, but my favorite one is the recently launched (internally so far) Blackberry application by Tekriti. I will share the screenshots once it is publicly launched, but for now this post acts as a teaser as well as a outlet for my excitement :) This application is built on the lines of Wall Street Journal Mobile Reader and is built for a customer, and is built in such a way that adding other online media property shouldn't be too much of work. I just installed the same on my Blackberry Curve 8900 and it works great - so far.

In previous blog you came to know about the difference between HTML 4.0 and HTML 5.0. Today you will know what are the new markup and new elements used in HTML 5.0

New Markup Using HTML 5

It provides a number of new elements and attributes. Some of them are replacements for common uses of generic block (<div>) and inline (<span>) elements, for example <nav> (website navigation block) and <footer>. Other elements provide new functionality through a standardized interface, such as the <audio> and <video> elements.
The HTML5 syntax is no longer based on DOCTYPE, SGML despite its markup being very close. It has, however, been designed to be backward compatible with common parsing of older versions of HTML. It comes with a new introductory line which looks like <!DOCTYPE html>, which enables standards-compliant rendering in all browsers that use "DOCTYPE sniffing"

New Elements Introduced In HTML 5

As a Web Development Lead at Tekriti, I have been at the forefront of developing the HTML, CSS and JS for several projects which Tekriti has been executing. What has been notable in this entire experience of mine is how little the HTML markup has evolved in the past 10 years or more. Sure we have definitely moved from table'd layouts to table less layouts, we have made concentrated efforts on keeping the HTML fluid, using CSS 2.0 and following W3C standards to the maximum. All of the above was the learning which me and my team has had over the past 4 years as Web 2.0 came calling. However there was still something lacking, as all this learning was more from a standards and discipline perspective, nothing new from a markup or technology perspective. One thing is for sure, HTML'ization of websites is a specialized job with a special set of skills and experience (especially with the plethora of browsers around these days IE6, 7, 8, Mozilla FF, Chrome, Safari, Opera).

The assets of today’s companies are its people, and more so if the company draws most of its revenues from the services. I have always enjoyed working with people, and have almost assumed dealing with people to be strength. This was 5 years back, and then Tekriti happened. The definition of “working with people” got expanded to cover many more things than what I had assumed initially. A large part of my job is to manage the expectations of people, and ensuring that they are incentivized enough and still keep the company healthy.

One of our prospective customers read our post on Cloud Computing and came back to us with some questions on Virtual Dedicated Hosting (yes a new term for Cloud Computing, relating only to server hosting). With their permission I am reproducing some of the questions as below with the hope that the very same questions will help alleviate the indecision from our other prospective customers:
