  • Frederic Daoud — «Stripes... and Java Web Development Is Fun Again
    What readers are saying about Stripes. and Java Web Development Is Fun Again This book is a must for anyone using Stripes, novice or pro. The author has done a great job of explaining the basics as well as the details of Stripes’ amazing features while showing how to build a real- life application. A novice developer can get up to speed fast, keeping with Stripes’ pragmatic approach to development: “It doesn’t have to be hard.” As the chapters progress, you will gain thorough knowledge of all the Stripes features. What really impressed me was the author’s dedication to giving you full examples of all the possible variations; you’re not left thinking, “If I just knew how to use that feature.” If you want to know how to use a Stripes feature, look it up in this book—it’s definitely covered. Stripes...and Java Web Development Is Fun Again will be on my work desk from now on. Jeppe Cramon Chief Architect, TigerTeam This book is really engaging. Since I’m familiar with Stripes, I enjoyed learning about many lesser-known nuances that Stripes provides— and those tasty little nuggets kept me reading. This book delivers a comprehensive understanding of the intellectual and technical aspects of Stripes. It has served to cement my appreciation for Stripes. Brandon Goodin Coauthor, iBATIS in Action At first I thought this book would be merely a welcome dead-tree ref- erence for our team of self-proclaimed veteran Stripes developers. But somewhere along the way Frederic Daoud managed to greatly impress and humble me with his experience and in-depth knowledge of Stripes.

  • Exploring Google Web Toolkit (GWT)
    GWT in Action, Second Edition Ian Bambury, Christopher Ramsdale, Robert Hanson, Adam Tacy Tools are great, but Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is more than just a tool for writing JavaScript application in Java. GWT is a platform with which you can build extraordinary complex applications that run in the browser without any proprietary plug-ins. This green paper from GWT in Action, Second Edition provides a glimpse into each tool in GWT. To save 35% on your next purchase use Promotional Code tacy2gp35 when you check out at www.manning.com. You may also be interested in… Exploring Google Web Toolkit (GWT) Google Web Toolkit (GWT) has filled a gap that most people hadn’t even realized was there. Some people love JavaScript, but most web programmers aren’t big fans of it—you need an in-depth knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and browser quirks to be sure that everything is safe and will work in all major browsers. One gets caught up using a dynamic language, and there isn’t a lot in the way of development tools to help you with code completion, live syntax checking, and so on. Java, on the other hand, has everything you could wish for, an awful lot of development, and testing tools. Even if you stick to just the ones that are free, there is a tremendous choice of comprehensive applications that have more features than you’ll ever need. But Java isn’t JavaScript, so what is the point of discussing it? Well, what if you took the Java source code and turned it into JavaScript? You would have all the advantages of the free development environments, debugging, testing tools, and code coverage reports, and the end result would be JavaScript, which can run in a browser.

  • Seeker Interactive Application Security Testing Datasheet
    Seeker Interactive Application Security Testing Easy-to-use enterprise- Overview scale IAST that Seeker®, our interactive application security testing (IAST) solution, gives you accurately identifies and unparalleled visibility into your web app security posture and identifies vulnerability verifies vulnerabilities trends against compliance standards (e.g., OWASP Top 10, PCI DSS, GDPR, CAPEC, and CWE/SANS Top 25). Seeker enables security teams to identify and track sensitive data to ensure that it is handled securely and not stored in log files or databases with weak or no encryption. Seeker’s seamless integration into CI/CD workflows enables fast interactive application security testing at DevOps speed. Unlike other IAST solutions, which only identify security vulnerabilities, Seeker can also determine whether a security vulnerability (e.g., XSS or SQL injection) can be exploited, thus providing developers with a risk-prioritized list of verified vulnerabilities to fix in their code immediately. Using patented methods, Seeker quickly processes hundreds of thousands of HTTP(S) requests, identifies vulnerabilities, and reduces false positives to near zero. This enables security teams to focus on actual verified security vulnerabilities first, greatly improving productivity and reducing business risk. It’s like having a team of automated pen testers assessing your web applications 24/7. Seeker applies code instrumentation techniques (agents) inside running applications and can scale to address large enterprise security requirements. It provides accurate results out of the box and doesn’t require extensive, lengthy configuration. With Seeker, your developers don’t have to be security experts, because Seeker provides detailed vulnerability descriptions, actionable remediation advice, and stack trace information, Project security grades based on security and it identifies vulnerable lines of code.
