Its Web Apps allow you to build and deploy websites, WebJobs run background tasks within App Service. The portfolio of possibilities is way larger and is too broad to summarise in a quiz.
Answer to yesterday's question: Unicode, also The Unicode Standard or TUS. Largely having replaced the environment of incompatible character sets, it is used to encode the vast majority of texts on websites and on the internet. The origins can be traced back to Xerox Character Coding Standard in 1982 and investigation initiated in 1987 by Xerox employee Joe Becker with Apple employees Lee Collins and Mark Davis. The draft was proposed in August 1988.
TUS itself defines three encodings, UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32. UTF-8, the 8-bit form, is widely used also because of its backwards compatibility with ASCII.
