Throughout the last decade, society has witnessed an explosion of network connectivity among PCs and mobile devices as well as a vast proliferation of networked applications, ranging from Web-based email to online banking. The end result of this is that network connectivity has become ...
Parallels have often been drawn between the computer security landscape and the biological world, since security threats such as computer viruses and worms can be viewed as digital incarnations of common biological threats. Similarities exist in terms of modes of reproduction as well ...
The security benefits and risks of Open Source code is one of the most debated topics in information security today. The views of proponents of the Open Source model are typified by Eric Raymond's argument that Open Source software is intrinsically more secure since its open nature let...
A current look at the field of bioinformatics will reveal that it is a field that is largely dominated by the Linux operating system, as well as by programming languages such as Perl, Python, and Java. Windows and its associated native application development platforms are not in wides...
In late May 2004, Microsoft made the announcement that it was considering entering the High-Performance Computing (HPC) Market, a market that has traditionally been dominated by custom-engineered Unix-based machines. In recent years, advances in technology have made possible the constr...
With the release of Visual Studio .NET and the structured error-handling capabilities of the .NET Framework came significant improvements in the way that VS programmers are able to capture and deal with programmatic errors. Yet these more robust abilities do not lessen the importance o...
The ability to perform pattern-matching operations on text is a skill that is highly useful to any programmer. Whether you are creating a routine to validate data entered into a form, performing parsing and mining on data sets, or searching for sequence similarities in the human genome...
The Mobile Internet Toolkit comes prepackaged with a variety of controls that address the most common mobile computing tasks. However, specialized tasks can arise that these generic controls are not powerful enough to address, or for which they simply fail to meet the requirements. In ...
