Great people at SmashingMagazine.com are always bringing us, the Web developers, some quality content, and the latest article on Ruby On Rails does not disappoint:
We want to bring Ruby on Rails closer to those who want to take a peek first, without going through an entire tutorial. So, this article is structured a little different from most other introductions out there; hopefully it is more useful because of this.
Article: Getting Started With Ruby On Rails and Beginner’s Guide To Ruby On Rails: Part 2
I have been using Ruby On Rails for a few years now, on and off, mostly for research purposes, to see how it performs, and how it can speed up development of simple and complex Web projects. I have to say, it delivers consistently. It is easy to learn, quick to implement and, when properly used, it makes the project flow. Its testing and deployment approaches make project management a breeze, which is important not only when your clients tend to change requirements frequently, but also when they like to turn them around 180 degrees.
Ruby On Rails, along with other Web-centric development platforms and frameworks (like Django), can make your life easier as a developer. It also adds tons of value to your customers, since your custom Web applications and systems can be delivered much faster, with considerably less effort, and cost.

How do you get your Web project up and running fast? You can throw money at it, pay up the consultants and have your product ready in no time (how soon??? depends how deep your pockets are), or you can go the CMS way, which can save you tons of money and give your flexibility to control your project in the future.

25 Most Dangerous Programming Errors |

As our lives become more and more connected and increasingly depend on the on-line applications that access, transmit and store our most vital, personal information, there is hardly a day when we don't hear about identity theft and other hacking problems. It's not only a personal problem, but the whole world economy and the security of individual states depend on full control of the flow of information. The best indicator of how important this issue became, is the fact that representatives of the 30 biggest software/cyber security companies released a list of the 25 most dangerous programming errors. The announcement can be found on the SANS web site:
(January 12, 2009) Today in Washington, DC, experts from more than 30 US and international cyber security organizations jointly released the consensus list of the 25 most dangerous programming errors that lead to security bugs and that enable cyber espionage and cyber crime. Shockingly, most of these errors are not well understood by programmers; their avoidance is not widely taught by computer science programs; and their presence is frequently not tested by organizations developing software for sale.
The impact of these errors is far reaching. Just two of them led to more than 1.5 million web site security breaches during 2008 - and those breaches cascaded onto the computers of people who visited those web sites, turning their computers into zombies.

Google Publishes Browser Security Hanbook |

Google has published a "Browser Security Handbook" on their portal, emphasizing importance of secure design of Web applications. The handbook describes common concepts found in the most popular browsers, as well, as presents security features that are part of their implementation. This document is an important resource to those involved in Web application design and implementation. Most of us rely on frameworks and packages (like Joomla!, or phpBB) that shield us from most of the details, but it is important to understand the basic concepts and know the possible sources of security threats.

Joomla! On Top - 10 Leading Platforms... |

If you need another reason to consider an open source Content Management System (CMS) as an option for your Web presence, ZDNet's Dion Hinchcliffe presents a list of "10 leading platforms for creating online communities". Guess what... Joomla! is on the top of the list, which is not surprising, since, in our own experience, it is currently the most flexible, easy to learn and use and extensible CMS. It takes very little to set up, configure and customize, and the number of extensions that fit almost every conceivable need is staggering. When you compare costs of rolling out custom designed site with the similar Joomla! based solution, the difference is so vast, that unless your budget is unlimited (and what business has an unlimited IT budget in today's economy), the decision is a "no brainer".
