The security of your web application cannot be compromised. According to Symantec, one of the world’s foremost security firms, there are 4 vulnerabilities (XXS, SQL, Enumeration, Remote Execution) to web applications. The evaluation below shows the results of tests conducted on a sample CodeIgniter web application to deduce the level of security of the system. If you are a web application developer writing apps in PHP, CodeIgniter has a lot to offer in terms of security. Remote Code Execution This type of an attack allows the hacker to execute unwanted code from a remote location using shell scripting or other measures. This is counter measured by using two things. At first, the htaccess file should be set to allow access to only certain directories, which pose minimum threat if hacked, such as the img/. - Anna Sabryan

In today’s economy, many businesses are looking at employees using their own mobile devices at work as a way to cut expenses. One reason for the growing BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) trend is because many companies can’t afford to keep up with the latest updates in mobile technologies. The devices employees own are frequently more advanced than what is available at work. And they have taken the time to personalize the functionality of devices in a way that works best for them. It’s no wonder that they want to use them at work. They have become a part of who they are. - Anna Sabryan

At first, these handy devices were seen as a luxury item, that only high level executives, professional business people and sales people who worked on the road needed. Since then, the ability to “work on the go” has grown by leaps and bounds. Mobile devices have brought on tremendous improvements in workplace efficiency and they are everywhere. But the question business owners need to ask themselves is this, is it better for your employees to use Yours or Theirs? - Anna Sabryan

This series details what happens behind the scenes in response to a user’s click on a link.

What we aim to do here is to simplify the process by describing 5 key (and free!) open-source sites that every developer should include in their toolkit. Think of these 5 resources as part and parcel of the basic development cycle for designing and implementing a new website or application. The bottom line is that for every project you should plan to: - Anna Sabryan

Review of the most popular tools and how you can benefit from them For sure you know what URL shortening is – especially if you use Twitter.
