Creating and Managing Projects with Zend_Tool 316 About the Author Jason Gilmore is founder of W.J. Gilmore LLC (http://www.wjgilmore.com/), a publishing and consulting firm based out of Columbus, Ohio. Formerly Apress' open source editor, Jason fostered the development of more than 60 books, along the way helping to transform their open source line into one of the industry’s most respected publishing programs. Jason is the author of several books, including the bestselling Beginning PHP and MySQL: From Novice to Professional (currently in its third edition), Beginning PHP and PostgreSQL: From Nov- ice to Professional, and Beginning PHP and Oracle: From Novice to Professional. He has over 100 articles to his credit within prominent publications such as Developer.com, Linux Magazine, and TechTarget. Jason is a cofounder of CodeMash (http://www.codemash.org/), a nonprofit organization tasked with hosting an annual namesake developer’s conference, and was a member of the 2008 MySQL Conference speaker selection board. About the Technical Reviewer Chris J. Davis is a Senior Web Developer and Mac enthusiast living in North Texas. He is an inter- national speaker on the intersection of technology and community as well as a founder of the Habari Project, a next generation publishing platform. Also a published author, Chris coauthored Blog Design Solutions from Friends of Ed. Recently Chris has been invited to become a committer on the Apache Software Foundation Infra- structure team, which he enthusiastically accepted. You can find more out about Chris by visiting his website (http://chrisjdavis.org) or by following him on Twitter (http://twitter.com/chrisjdavis). Acknowledgements Ernest Hemingway once offered a particularly sober assessment of his trade, saying, "There is noth- ing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." This being my fifth book, and the first published under my eponymous press, W.J. Gilmore LLC, I can sympathize with his appraisal. Thankfully, psychological first aid is readily available from the family, friends, and colleagues who always make this process much less painful. Chris Davis did an excellent job as a tech reviewer, catching numerous mistakes made as I fought with both code and prose. Carlene DeFiore helped out immensely, reviewing chapters, helping with promotional strategy, and keeping me well fed. Countless other individuals played key advisory roles in helping this book to finally see the light. In alphabetical order, they include David Futato, Jonathan Hassell, Stu Johnson, and Matt Zenko. I'd also like to thank the great people at the Grandview Heights Fifth Third Bank and U.S. Post Office for helping get the business off the ground. I'd perhaps never have gotten into the publishing business without the help of Apress cofounder Gary Cornell, who first contacted me back in 2000 to write a book for what was then a very small but dar- ing computer book upstart (one which has since grown into a rather large but still daring publisher). He played a pivotal role in my development as an author and later an editor for Apress. Thank you Gary. Last but certainly not least, I'd like to thank you dear reader, for having enough faith to trade your hard-earned money for this book.

  • Introducting Innovations in Open Source Projects
    Introducing Innovations into Open Source Projects Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) am Fachbereich Mathematik und Informatik der Freien Universität Berlin von Sinan Christopher Özbek Berlin August 2010 2 Gutachter: Professor Dr. Lutz Prechelt, Freie Universität Berlin Professor Kevin Crowston, Syracuse University Datum der Disputation: 17.12.2010 4 Abstract This thesis presents a qualitative study using Grounded Theory Methodology on the question of how to change development processes in Open Source projects. The mailing list communication of thirteen medium-sized Open Source projects over the year 2007 was analyzed to answer this question. It resulted in eight main concepts revolving around the introduction of innovation, i.e. new processes, services, and tools, into the projects including topics such as the migration to new systems, the question on where to host services, how radical Open Source projects can change their ways, and how compliance to processes and conventions is enforced. These are complemented with (1) the result of five case studies in which innovation introductions were conducted with Open Source projects, and with (2) a theoretical comparison of the results of this thesis to four theories and scientific perspectives from the organizational and social sciences such as Path Dependence, the Garbage Can model, Social-Network analysis, and Actor-Network theory. The results show that innovation introduction is a multifaceted phenomenon, of which this thesis discusses the most salient conceptual aspects. The thesis concludes with practical advice for innovators and specialized hints for the most popular innovations. 5 6 Acknowledgements I want to thank the following individuals for contributing to the completion of this thesis: • Lutz Prechelt for advising me over these long five years.

  • "Automated Security Analysis of Web Application Technologies"
    Saarland University Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Department of Computer Science Automated Security Analysis of Web Application Technologies Malte Horst Arthur Skoruppa Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades des Doktors der Ingenieurwissenschaften der Fakultät für Mathematik und Informatik der Universität des Saarlandes Saarbrücken, 2017 ii Tag des Kolloquiums: 14. Dezember 2017 Dekan: Prof. Dr. Frank-Olaf Schreyer Prüfungsausschuss Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr. Christian Rossow Berichterstattende: Prof. Dr. Michael Backes Prof. Dr. Andreas Zeller Akademischer Mitarbeiter: Dr. Robert Künnemann iii Zusammenfassung Das Web hat sich zu einem komplexen Netz aus hochinteraktiven Seiten und Anwendungen entwickelt, welches wir täglich zu kommerziellen und sozialen Zwecken einsetzen. Dementsprechend ist die Sicherheit von Webanwendungen von höchster Relevanz. Das automatisierte Auffinden von Sicherheitslücken ist ein anspruchsvolles, aber wichtiges Forschungsgebiet mit dem Ziel, Entwickler zu unterstützen und das Web sicherer zu machen. In dieser Arbeit nutzen wir statische Analysemethoden, um automatisiert Lücken in JavaScript- und PHP-Programmen zu entdecken. JavaScript ist clientseitig die wichtigste Sprache des Webs, während PHP auf der Serverseite am weitesten verbreitet ist. Im ersten Teil nutzen wir eine Reihe von Programmtransformationen und Informationsflussanalyse, um den JavaScript Helios Wahl-Client zu untersuchen. Helios ist ein modernes Wahlsystem, welches auf konzeptueller Ebene eingehend analysiert wurde und dessen Implementierung als sehr sicher gilt. Wir enthüllen zwei schwere und bis dato unentdeckte Sicherheitslücken. Im zweiten Teil präsentieren wir ein Framework, das es Entwicklern er- möglicht, PHP Code auf frei modellierbare Schwachstellen zu untersuchen. Zu diesem Zweck konstruieren wir sogenannte Code-Property-Graphen und im- portieren diese anschließend in eine Graphdatenbank. Schwachstellen können nun als geeignete Datenbankanfragen formuliert werden.
