  • Article 15 Phoenix Telecommunications
    The Cover The upper cover image is an artist’s concept of the Phoenix Lander with legs deployed and thrusters on just before landing on the surface of Mars. This rendition was created by Corby Waste of JPL in 2003. As the Mars program artist, he has created artwork for several Mars missions [1]. During lander surface operations, the Phoenix project generated many exotic images from Mars. One of these, the lower cover image [2], is a vertical projection that combines hundreds of exposures taken by the lander’s Surface Stereo Imager camera and projects them as if looking down from above. The black circle is where the camera itself is mounted on the lander, out of view in images taken by the camera. North is toward the top of the image. This view comprises more than 100 different Stereo Surface Imager pointings, with images taken through three different filters at each pointing. The images were taken in the period from the 13th Martian day, or sol, after landing to the 47th sol (June 5 through July 12, 2008). The lander's Robotic Arm appears cut off in this mosaic view because component images were taken when the arm was out of the frame.

November 2016 10:03 10 Kapitel 5 In diesem Kapitel erörtern wir die allgemeine Nutzung von SAPUI5 und die darin enthaltenen Modelltypen sowie das Data Binding. 5 Modelle und Bindings Im vorherigen Kapitel 4, »Aufbau von MVC-Anwendungen«, haben wir er- läutert, wie Modelle als Datencontainer funktionieren, in denen sämtliche Geschäftsdaten enthalten sind, die in Ihrer Anwendung verarbeitet werden. SAPUI5 wird mit verschiedenen vordefinierten, einsatzbereiten Modellklas- sen bereitgestellt. In der Beispielanwendung haben Sie schon ein JSON- und ein Ressourcenmodell in Aktion gesehen. In diesem Kapitel erklären wir die- se Modelltypen genauer, und Sie erfahren mehr über die Bindungsfunktio- nalität, die in allen Anwendungen zum Einsatz kommt. Data Binding beinhaltet das Verbinden von Daten, die in einem bestimmten Modell in einer Anwendung verfügbar sind, mit einem bestimmten Teil der Benutzeroberfläche auf dem Bildschirm. Diese Verbindung kann entweder unidirektional oder bidirektional sein. Bei der ersten Verbindung werden die Daten aus dem Modell bereitgestellt, und die Modelldaten bleiben un- berührt, wenn sie in der Benutzeroberfläche geändert werden.

  • Evaluation of Password Hashing Schemes in Open Source Web
    Evaluation of Password Hashing Schemes in Open Source Web Platforms Christoforos Ntantogian, Stefanos Malliaros, Christos Xenakis Department of Digital Systems, University of Piraeus, Piraeus, Greece {dadoyan, stefmal, xenakis}@unipi.gr Abstract: Nowadays, the majority of web platforms in the Internet originate either from CMS to easily deploy websites or by web applications frameworks that allow developers to design and implement web applications. Considering the fact that CMS are intended to be plug and play solutions and their main aim is to allow even non-developers to deploy websites, we argue that the default hashing schemes are not modified when deployed in the Internet. Also, recent studies suggest that even developers do not use appropriate hash functions to protect passwords, since they may not have adequate security expertise. Therefore, the default settings of CMS and web applications frameworks play an important role in the security of password storage. This paper evaluates the default hashing schemes of popular CMS and web application frameworks. First, we formulate the cost time of password guessing attacks and next we investigate the default hashing schemes of popular CMS and web applications frameworks. We also apply our framework to perform a comparative analysis of the cost time between the various CMS and web application frameworks. Finally, considering that intensive hash functions consume computational resources, we analyze hashing schemes from a different perspective. That is, we investigate if it is feasible and under what conditions to perform slow rate denial of service attacks from concurrent login attempts. Through our study we have derived a set of critical observations.

  • Angularjs in 60 Minutes
    AngularJS in 60 Minutes by Dan Wahlin Transcription and Arrangement by Ian Smith © 2013 Wahlin Consulting 1 | P a g e A Quick Note About Custom Onsite/Online Training I love speaking at user groups and conferences and enjoy contributing content such as the AngularJS video and this document (that Ian Smith was kind enough to create) to the general development community. But, for my day job I run The Wahlin Group which provides custom onsite training on a variety of technologies that I love working with. We cover a wide range of technologies such as: AngularJS JavaScript JavaScript Patterns jQuery Programming Web Technology Fundamentals Node.js Responsive Design .NET Technologies C# Programming C# Design Patterns ASP.NET MVC ASP.NET Web API WCF End-to-end application development classes are also available We fly all around the world to give our training classes and train developers at companies like Intel, Microsoft, UPS, Goldman Sachs, Alliance Bernstein, Merck, various government agencies and many more. Online classes are also available. Please contact us at [email protected] if you're interested in onsite or online training for your developers. Forthcoming “AngularJS JumpStart” Book by Dan Wahlin Since this video was recorded Dan has been working on tidying up the original transcription presented here and expanding it. He’s added so much new information that this is now going to be published as a book, most probably entitled “AngularJS JumpStart The response to the original video has been phenomenal (and rightly so – it’s the best one hour training for developers new to Angular I’ve seen – and I’ve seen a LOT of Angular training!) I expect the response to the book to be even more enthusiastic and can’t wait.

  • Technology Radar Prepared by the Thoughtworks Technology Advisory Board OCTOBER 2012 Thoughtworks.Com/Radar OCTOBER 2012
    Technology Radar Prepared by the ThoughtWorks Technology Advisory Board OCTOBER 2012 thoughtworks.com/radar OCTOBER 2012 What’s new? Here are the trends highlighted in this edition: Mobile—As mobile is rapidly becoming the primary way that people access the internet, this needs to be factored in to new enterprise application strategy, product strategy and implementation – from “mobile first” design all the way through to a new breed of testing tools. Accessible Analytics—Big Data does not have to equal Big Budgets. A combination of open-source tooling and cloud-based infrastructure provides a more readily accessible analytics and visualization approach. Simple architectures—Simple continues to gain traction, including both techniques for building and composing applications, as well as infrastructure-based techniques to enable simple deployment, failover and recovery. This theme is a recurring one for us, but we have not yet seen the usage shifts we believe are necessary. Reproducible environments—Tools supporting the standardization, set-up automation and coordinated management of development, test and production environments for both internally hosted and public cloud environments feature prominently on this edition of the radar. Data persistence done right—As NoSQL databases are maturing and gaining acceptance, an understanding of the patterns for use (and abuse) becomes imperative. Introduction ThoughtWorkers are passionate about technology. We build it, research it, test it, open source it, write about it, and constantly aim to improve it – for everyone. Our mission is to champion software excellence and revolutionize IT. We create and share the ThoughtWorks Technology Radar in support of that mission. The ThoughtWorks Technology Advisory Board, a group of senior technology leaders in ThoughtWorks, creates the radar.
