I always love to upto date myself with Google things. So, recently Google Chorme introducing some awesome books. In this year, they introduced 20 Things I Learned About Browsers and the Web. I already read and learned around 15 things new. Later share but a detailed post, explained clearly given below,

The Google Chrome team has recently collaborated with designer and illustrator Christoph Niemann to create a guide to 20 of the things that make the internet as great as it is today. This guide was inspred by Tim Berners-Lee who is the ‘inventor’ of the internet as we know it. Google explains more on their Blog:

“20 Things” is written by the Chrome team, and continues our tradition of finding new ways to help explain complex but fascinating ideas about technology. Many of the examples used to illustrate the features of the browser refer back to Chrome.

Here are some of the fun tutorials within the guide:

• But how do browsers and the web actually work?
• What is HTML5—or HTML, for that matter?
• What do terms like “cookies” or “cloud computing” even mean?
• More practically, how can we keep ourselves safe from security threats like viruses when we’re online?

Google’s attempt to increase appeal for HTML5 Web Apps

Google explains that the boocklet was coded in HTML5 which is set to become the next web standard that will replace Flash. Google’s Chrome Browser and the upcoming Chrome OS will run HTML5 powered Web Apps hence it is understandable why Google is frantically attempting to show off what exactly this technology is capable of.

We built “20 Things” in HTML5 so that we could incorporate features that hearken back to what we love about books—feeling the heft of a book’s cover, flipping a page or even reading under the covers with a flashlight. In fact, once you’ve loaded “20 Things” in the browser, you can disconnect your laptop and continue reading, since this guidebook works offline. As such, this illustrated guidebook is best experienced in Chrome or any up-to-date, HTML5-compliant modern browser.

Bob Parson, the founder and CEO of GoDaddy.com — worlds largest domain management company. In his websites, he wrote an articles about success in business — the 16 rules that can bring success in your business and change your life. Few things, I really loved,

1. Almost nothing works the first time it’s attempted.  Just because what you’re doing does not seem to be working, doesn’t mean it won’t work.  It just means that it might not work the way you’re doing it.  If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn’t have an opportunity.
2. There’s an old Chinese saying that I just love, and I believe it is so true.  It goes like this: “The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.”
3. No matter how difficult your situation is, you can get through it if you don’t look too far into the future, and focus on the present moment.
4. Never stop investing.  Never stop improving.  Never stop doing something new.  The moment you stop improving your organization, it starts to die.  Make it your goal to be better each and every day, in some small way.  Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen.  Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.
