Android. Essentials of the Java Programming Language, Part 1. Training Index By Monica Pawlan March 1999 If you are new to programming in the Java language, have some experience with other languages, and are familiar with things like displaying text or graphics or performing simple calculations, this tutorial could be for you. It walks through how to use the Java® 2 Platform software to create and run three common types of programs written for the Java platformapplications, applets, and servlets. You will learn how applications, applets, and servlets are similar and different, how to build a basic user interface that handles simple end user input, how to read data from and write data to files and databases, and how to send and receive data over the network. This tutorial is not comprehensive, but instead takes you on a straight and uncomplicated path through the more common programming features available in the Java platform.

RSA Conference Europe 2012 We’re attending the RSA Security Conference in London this week, and there’s an interesting trend emerging: the idea of privacy as an enemy of security. In two of the opening keynotes, privacy was mentioned alongside budget resources as one of the biggest obstacles to effective enterprise security. In the minds of many security professionals, closed or walled user data makes analysis for the sake of organizational security difficult.
The more a user’s data and activity are exposed to the data security staff, the easier it is to identify a hacker, spy, fraudster, or any other variety of network-based bad guy. It’s a very pragmatic point of view, but it initially made me very uncomfortable. My mind spun into rhetoric and encouraged me to rant about police states and the importance of the minimization of data. As you can imagine, my role with Ghostery lends itself to a largely different virtue – one where privacy reigns supreme. Greasemonkey. Greasemonkey. Greasemonkey is a Mozilla Firefox extension that allows users to install scripts that make on-the-fly changes to web page content after or before the page is loaded in the browser (also known as augmented browsing).
The changes made to the web pages are executed every time the page is viewed, making them effectively permanent for the user running the script. Greasemonkey can be used for customizing page appearance, adding new functions to web pages (for example, embedding price comparisons within shopping sites), fixing rendering bugs, combining data from multiple web pages, and numerous other purposes. History[edit] The Greasemonkey project began 28 November 2004, written by Aaron Boodman.[4][5][6] Boodman was inspired to write Greasemonkey after looking at a Firefox extension designed to clean up the interface of Allmusic.[7] This extension was written by Adrian Holovaty, who later became a userscript developer.
