The OWASP Top 10 is a well known index of web app security vulnerabilities which is used every day by security professionals, but it doesn’t currently take into account how often those vulnerabilities are used by hackers. We dug through security breach records to see which vulnerabilities are exploited most frequently.

Prelude This post is part of a series designed to make you think about your own design philosophy on different topics. If you haven’t read the following post yet, please do so first: Develop Your Design Philosophy Introduction Systems cannot be developed assuming that human beings will be able to write millions of lines of code without making mistakes, and debugging alone is not an efficient way to develop reliable systems. - Al Aho..

Converting a Javascript Dictionary To GET URL Parameters I've had serveral instances in the recent past where I needed to take a javascript dictionary and convert it into a set of GET parameters to be used in a URI. Usually this happens when I'm building an AJAX request. Anyway, since I've used this function over and over I thought I'd post it incase it helps any of you Googling for something similar. Here's the function... Javascript to co..

One of the main reasons for the thread API I discussed yesterday is a new threadsafe Database API. This new API allows you to wrap your Database instance with a thread that will hide all access to the database and implicitly make it threadsafe by serializing all requests to a single database thread. This also has the side effect of removing the hack of working with sqlite on the EDT which could sometimes cause a stutter in the UI when per..

Software engineering and coding are two very different concepts. As a software engineer, I write code on a daily basis, but the value that a good software engineer provides to a business is so much more. This is emphasised by The Entelect Way. What is The Entelect Way? I’m a software engineer at Entelect , a software engineering and solutions company based in South Africa. The Entelect Way is a set of guiding principles for software deli....

Working with threads is usually ranked as one of the least intuitive and painful tasks in programming. This is such an error prone task that some platforms/languages took the route of avoiding threads entirely. I needed to convert some code to work on a separate thread but I still wanted the ability to communicate and transfer data from that thread. This is possible in Java but non-trivial, the thing is that this is relatively easy to do ..

Using toggle buttons in touch interfaces is very intuitive for many use cases. We implement them via RadioButton or CheckBox to indicate inclusive or exclusive selection. As a result I find myself using RadioButton quite a lot and ran into an omission that frankly should have been there from day 1. Up until now you couldn’t listen to selection on the ButtonGroup only on the RadioButton itself which isn’t as convenient since for pretty muc..

Recently, while operating two different remote-controlled appliances, I realized that it was high time for a discussion about declarative and imperative paradigms. Let’s start by looking at the two remotes: Two different "remotes". The one on the left operates a television, and the one on the right controls a central heating and cooling system. At first glance you will notice that one of these remotes is dark, and the other is light. Yo..

There is a popular trend among some Javascript developers to argue that humans should stop writing CSS and HTML (and HTML-based templates). They argue everything should instead be written as Javascript, to reduce complexity and present a more unified developer experience. And certainly many people who try this approach

A friend of mine asked me for my opinions on what programming language should be taught in the introductory class of computer science at university. I remember this debate when I was at university 20 years ago, this debate has no doubt been raging for centuries. (This may not be literally true, or rather, it is just not yet literally true at the time of writing…) This is what I reckon. What do you reckon?

In this post, we’re going to put all the pieces from this series together and create an Ubuntu Core image with our ROS snap preinstal..

For me, becoming a Tech Lead was not something that happened one day, or even after a planned transition. It was something that I now realize started way back in my internship during college. Being a Tech Lead is something that you grow into, often because other leaders gave you a safe space to practice leadership, and you observed them and learned from them.

When we talk about the Internet of Things, it's not just putting RFID tags on some dumb thing so we smart people know where that dumb thing is. It's about embedding intelligence so things become smarter and do more than they were proposed to do", said Nicholas Negroponte, Chairman Emeritus of Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab and founder of the One Laptop per Child Association.
