The Myths of Security

When I was in college, I worked on the Alice project, run by Randy Pausch of “Last Lecture” fame. Alice was a system for virtual reality and 3D graphics—working on it got me the few cool points I had in college. However, the primary goal of Randy’s project had nothing to do with virtual reality or being cool. It was all about making computer programming easy. Randy wanted high school ki…

Learning Android

My background is in Java from back before it was even called that. From the beginning, I was very interested in embedded development as a way to program various devices that surround us in everyday life. Because Java primarily took off in web application development, most of my experience in the previous decade has been in building large enterprise systems. Then Android arrived, and once again …

Learning Devise for Rails

Imagine that you create a cool Rails web application that does different things for different users. To do so, your application needs to be able to identify users (at least users who are logged in versus anonymous visitors) to restrict its many functionalities. Before building your core Rails application logic, you will need a few authentication-related features working, that is, sign-up, sign-…

The evolution of the secure proxy is a reflection of the evolution of the web. The proxy began as a gateway that bridged content that was processed and managed by various information systems, and served that content to the open web dur- ing the early days of Internet web construction. The term web proxy server was given to this general intermediary to reflect its main duty at the time, namely, …

RESTful .NET

REST is an architecture that uses the strengths of the Web to build services. It proposes a set of constraints that simplifies development and encourages more scalable designs. Developers (the majority of whom were outside the Microsoft world) began to adopt this set of architectural constraints shortly after it was proposed (although, to be fair, there were a few inside the Microsoft camp who …

System Building with APL + Win

If the APL community debated this topic, it would certainly be making the case for APL as a development tool. The decisive question is: Use APL exclusively or in conjunction with other tools? Whatever the merits, this would be a misplaced debate: the objective is to vindicate APL as a contemporary development tool, with or without other tools. The graphical user interface and a grid object are …

SDN: Software Defined Networks

Up until a few years ago, storage, computing, and network resources were intentionally kept physically and operationally separate from one another. Even the systems used to manage those resources were separated—often physically. Applications that interacted with any of these resources, such as an operational monitoring system, were also kept at arm’s length significantly involved access pol…

Securing Ajax Applications

Deciding to add security to a web application is like deciding whether to wear clothes in the morning. Both decisions provide comfort and protection throughout the day, and in both cases the decisions are better made beforehand rather than later. Just look around and ask yourself, “How open do I really want to be with my neigh- bors?” Or, “How open do I really want them to be with me?” …

Software Testing Concepts and Operations

Software engineering is the only engineering discipline where product testing is a major technical and organizational concern, as well as an important cost factor. Several factors contribute to this state of affairs: • The first factor that makes software testing such a big concern is, of course, the size and complexity of software products, which make the design of software products a high-…
