[2003-08-29] Using ASP.NET to Make a Secure Site and Move Login Processing Out of the Page
A lot of us are tasked everyday to come up with ways of making our site, and other sites secure. Well if you're anything like me you don't want to have to rewrite login code 20 times a day. I'm going to show you how to make a secure site and have the login processing in a separate class. Let's get started.
[2003-08-28] A certification primer for XML and related technologies
IBM was the first organization to provide certification for XML and related technologies. As XML has grown more popular, this certification has also gained respect, and now it is one of the most sought-after certifications for developers. According to IBM, the goal of this certification is to equip developers with the knowledge necessary to design and implement applications that make use of XML and related technologies such as XML Schema, XSLT, and XPath.
[2003-08-27] Dispelling the Myth of Wireless Security
Despite a few good online articles and countless alarmist news items decrying parasitic War Drivers and War Chalkers contributing to the moral decay of the country, a surprising number of people still install wireless equipment with all of the defaults enabled. There are a huge number of access points in use today that unintentionally advertise a default SSID, bridge directly to an Ethernet network, and use no encryption whatsoever (or a WEP key left on the factory setting, and therefore easily deduced).
[2003-08-27] Input Validation in C and C++
Eavesdropping attacks are often easy to launch, but most people don't worry about them in their applications. Instead, they tend to worry about what malicious things can be done to the machine on which the application is running. Most people are far more worried about active attacks than they are about passive attacks.
[2003-08-22] Using the XML Data Source Object
The XML Data Source Object (DSO) is a Microsoft ActiveX control built into Microsoft Internet Explorer 4+. Using this object, it is possible to extract content from an external XML file or XML data embedded in the HTML file into a HTML page. In this article, I'll explain how to include the XML DSO, extract content from an external XML file, extract XML data from XML data embedded in the webpage and manipulation using JavaScript.
[2003-08-22] Will Pair Programming Really Improve Your Project?
This article is an excerpt from Chapter 6 of the book Extreme Programming Refactored: The Case Against XP [1], by Matt Stephens and Doug Rosenberg. The book provides an entertaining look at some of the flaws behind Extreme Programming (XP), whilst suggesting some alternative strategies and practical techniques to achieve XP's agile goals in a more rigorous way.
[2003-08-20] Create a Simple, Effective PHP Form for Your Web Site
If you have been struggling to set up forms on your web site using cgi, then definitely read this article. Installing a simple PHP form is much easier and faster than installing a cgi form and doesn't need any programming experience.
[2003-08-20] Considerations For a Portal Site with Search Engine Presence
A client of mine is developing a large portal site using Oracle 9i AS and has asked me whether this program will have any effect on the search engine presence that their site already maintains. Can you tell me whether there are any issues I have to consider in optimising this site for the search engines (above the normal considerations) and what limitations the software might bring in this area.
Many thanks indeed for any help you can give.
Yours faithfully

[2003-08-19] Straight dope on The Abstract Windows Toolkit
If your worst nightmare is drowning in a bowl of alphabet soup, maybe you'd better re-think your Java-oriented strategies, because you are about to leap onto a scaffold of functions that come wrapped up, ribbon and all, to help you give your programs that graphical look!
[2003-08-18] Using PayPal's IPN with ColdFusion
If you've ever wanted to have a shopping cart solution that works in REAL time, but didn't want to (or couldn't) get a merchant account, your alternative is PayPal. PayPal is the leading money processing site on the web, with millions of transactions each day! A short time ago, PayPal introduced Instant Payment Notification ("IPN") which allowed vendors the ability to sell products from their web sites and then update their databases in real time when customers checked out.
[2003-08-18] Web Site Software Interface Design Consultant
The key to creating graphical images for the World Wide Web and software applications is keeping the image file size relatively low and creating images that are optimized and display correctly in the browser window. By obtaining the knowledge of when to apply the proper image format to a given situation and how to properly optimization images to decrease download times, developers can assure themselves that graphics used in their projects will be optimized for success.
[2003-08-15] SQL Server 2000 Table Hints
As you advance in your skills as a Transact-SQL developer or SQL Server database administrator there will come a time when you need to override SQL Server's locking scheme and force a particular range of locks on a table. Transact-SQL provides you with a set of table-level locking hints that you can use with SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements to tell SQL Server how you want it to lock the table by overriding any other system-wide or transactional isolation level.
[2003-08-15] On Topic
A few concepts in Perl 6 are strange at first sight. They seem hard to understand, but it's only because they're new and different. They aren't deep mystical concepts known only to Tibetan lamas. Anyone can understand them, but it helps to start with a common-sense explanation.
[2003-08-14] Extend J2ME to Wireless Messaging
The notion of wireless messaging provides a whole new vista to J2ME. J2ME applications powered by wireless messaging have a platform-independent access to wireless communication resources like Short Message Service (SMS) and Cell Broadcast Service (CBS) for Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) Networks, a mobile telephony system permitting inter-country communication.
Before proceeding with the details on how J2ME Wireless Messaging works, I will discuss, in short, the SMS and CBS messaging systems in a GSM Network.
[2003-08-13] Adding and displaying data easily via ASP and XML/XSL
Storing and displaying data is a common and essential task, if you are working with Applications. It doesn't matter whether you are working with desktop Applications or WebApplications.
[2003-08-13] Spinning Text Meets Same Fate as Skip Intro
Practical Applications of 3D in Flash
The early days of Swift 3D sort of remind me of the early days of Flash. People were so excited to finally have a great new tool to create cutting edge Web content, but were often struggling to find the best uses for that content.
[2003-08-13] ADVERTISING YOUR SITE FOR FREE: Get people to visit your site on a zero-budget
Introduction
This article is intended for webmasters who already have a webpage set up on the internet. I have recently set up my own webpage, and this will be a conclusion of what I have learned from my own research on the web, and from taking part of several discussion forums.
[2003-08-12] Beginning Resource Files in Visual Basic
Have you ever wanted to use graphics, such as icons, bitmaps, cursors, and AVI files? How about sound or even message box text? This can be an enormous amount of overhead. These are all examples of more files to keep track of when you distribute an application, DLL, or OCX. Lets find out how resource files can help....
[2003-08-12] PHP Interacting with J2ME
You my have noticed in last year or two there has been an increasing boom in technology in the area of mobile handsets and mobile software development. Wireless technology is not only becoming more commonplace, but also more affordable. To support this even further, a survey released by IDC projected revenues in wireless gaming alone will generate approximately 72.2 million by 2007. Along side with mobile gaming there will be an ever-increasing demand for mobile applications.
[2003-08-11] How To Have Fewer Bugs Starting Today
-Conduct Creative Code Reviews.
Code reviews can be formal or informal, and they can be great even if you're a single-person team. I've had great luck read code printouts in all sorts of odd situations - in the pool, at the beach. Give it a shot. Try using markers and hacking the printouts all up. Try pasting all your code on the walls of a room, and assign a section of a wall to each team member.
[2003-08-06] ColdFusion Mad Libs – Part 2 of 2
Wow! You're back for more. I take it to mean you're ready to take the next step in your Mad Libs application (if you have no idea what I'm talking about, stop reading right now and go check out the ColdFusion Mad Libs Part 1 tutorial).
[2003-08-05] XML and JavaScript Tutorial
XML is a very important base on which Web Services work. XML can be used in conjunction with a lot of client side and server side languages to put it to good use.
Let us see how we can get XML and client side JavaScript to work together. We will see how we can display the contents of an XML file using JavaScript, accessing child elements, manipulating elements etc.
[2003-08-05] Camel POOP
Object Oriented Programming in Perl
Most people are not aware of the fact that Perl has support for object-oriented programming. If you've used another object-oriented programming language such as Java or C++ or been exposed to object-orientation then object oriented programming in Perl is nothing like that. To do real useful object-oriented programming in Perl you only need to use three simple rules as put forth by Larry Wall in Object Oriented Perl .
[2003-08-05] Creating PGP-Encrypted E-Mails Using ASP
The Concept of PGP
For PGP-based communication both the sender and receiver should have public and private key pairs. The sender's public key should be distributed to the receiver. Similarly, the receiver's public key should be distributed to the sender. When sending a message or a file, the sender can sign using his private key. Also, the sender's private key is never distributed.
[2003-08-04] Is Your Project a Real Project?
I often hear the phrase "project management" used interchangeably with the word "management." That's ok, since everything that we do is a project…right?
[2003-08-01] Flexible CGI output with HTML templates
Consider our free search engine script. It is an excellent application, but it wouldn't be very helpful for others if it could display its results only in the output page format that we use for our site. Somebody else's site will probably need the output page to contain site-specific navigation links, different colors, or even a completely different layout concept.
[2003-08-01] Using Java Data Objects
In a past article on XML Databinding, I showed
how you could work with Java objects and have them persist as XML files.
