"Green IT" (also known as "green computing") is a term used to describe the practice of designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, and associated subsystems—such as monitors and printers—in an environmentally-friendly manner. It involves the use of environmentally sustainable computing resources in order to reduce the environmental impact of IT operations. Green IT practices include energy-efficient computing, the use of renewable energy sources, the reduction of electronic waste, and the use of environmentally-friendly materials in the manufacture of IT equipment. It also includes the use of virtualisation, cloud computing and remote working to reduce the energy consumption of IT systems, and the use of teleconferencing to reduce travel. Green IT is an important concept in today's world as technology continues to play a larger role in our lives and the environmental impact of IT operations become more significant. It aims to reduce th

Progressive web apps, or PWAs, are a hot topic in the world of web development. As a technical lead, I've been keeping a close eye on this technology and I believe it is poised to revolutionise the way we think about web apps. At their core, PWAs are web apps that use modern web technologies to deliver a app-like experience to users. They are built with standard web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but have some key differences that set them apart from traditional web apps. One of the biggest benefits of PWAs is that they can be accessed directly from a user's browser, without the need for them to download and install an app from an app store. This means that users can start using a PWA immediately, without any friction. PWAs also work offline, allowing users to continue to use the app even when they don't have an internet connection. This is achieved by caching the app's assets and data on the user's device, so that they are still available even when
