We live in a world with many technologies, gone or the days when development would be in just handful of languages. Computer languages have evolved and devised have been replaced. The work is more on the mobile devices. Every successful engineer needs to update his skills with time. So lets see what are the Top 10 IT Skills for 2013.

The top 10 tech skills for 2013, as per CyberCoders are listed below:

by Rahul Singh on May.02, 2011, under Knowledge Base
I have seen people arguing, whether the URLs are case sensitive or not. And they have lot of confusions over it. So I decided to write this up, which will clear the doubts.
Are the URLs case sensitive ?
URLs have two parts

So, ere URLs are case-sensitive ? Should not be – but they sometimes are. Domain names are not case sensitive – for example http://www.apache.org/ and http://WWW.Apache.Org/ goes to the same location. But in the LAMP platform, the path is case sensitive…
http://www.apache.org/foundation/getinvolved.html is not
http://www.apache.org/Foundation/GetInvolved.HTML
But in the case of Microsoft IIS server, this is not true – try…
http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsServer2003/IIS/Default.mspx is the same as
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/iis/default.mspx
The root cause of URLs to be like this coz of UNIX File System to be case-sensitive, while FAT32/NTFS filesystems in Windows are not.
For Developer point of view, who host the files on LINUX/UNIX Hosting, must not change the URL frequently ad must keep the name to be in small case for sake of uniformity.
Fedora Release Versions
by Rahul Singh on Mar.22, 2011, under My views
Fedora has amazed me with the consecutive release versions of the OS in past 8 years from Fedora Core 1 to Fedora 15 to be launched this year.

The Fedora Project was created in late 2003, when Red Hat Linux was discontinued. Red Hat Enterprise Linux was to be Red Hat’s only officially supported Linux distribution, while Fedora was to be a community distribution. Red Hat Enterprise Linux branches its releases from versions of Fedora. The Fedora Project is governed by a board whose majority is elected by the Fedora community.
