Tech Log
It looks as though I've been away from my personal page for some time now. In reality I'm not far away I'm just really busy learning and doing things in the background. Over the last few years I've focused my skills on graphics and javascript in it's many flavors. I decided it was time for me to take on some new technologies and get a handle on them.
To that end, I've begun the plunge into "Web Services". That is the latest buzz word that looks good on the resume. I'm still not thrilled with becoming a "server guy" and don't really plan to. However, I do want the ability to operate in that realm. My passion still lies on the client-side and the GUI. The newer technologies are making robust web-centric GUIs not only possible but preferable to applications that just a few years ago could only be done properly with C++/Java applications.
I like starting off with basics and W3Schools Online Web Tutorials is a good place to start.
Occasionally I plan to use the BugLOG as a notepad of what I'm learning and reading up on. If the links seems disjoint it's most likely because they are ;-)
Web Application Vulnerabilites trump Buffer Overflows
I was aware of XSS (Cross Site Scripting) but it wasn't really on my radar screen. I didn't realize how big a deal it had become.
E4X... is a new extension to JavaScript, adds direct support for XML to JavaScript, is an official JavaScript standard.
These are my ramblings and they are mine.
