How will JavaScript Technology change my life

The best benefit of all of learning JavaScript, its syntax, integration with XML and AJAX is the how marketable this skill is today. Being able to define which rich client is best for a given need is an essential skill going forward in any programming or technical career (Zeichick, 2008). JavaScript will hopefully give me an opportunity to earn more money over time.

What are the Similarities between Java vs. JavaScript

Both Java and JavaScript allow programmers to create Web content with a high degree of freedom and ability to tailor the integration of third party applications online. Both also support XML integration that is a core technological element of AJAX (Serrano, Aroztegi, 2007). Both also support programming syntax that are entirely object-oriented, and both have been written to support CGI functionality and both have security features built in.

Java vs. JavaScript
Java was introduced by Sun Microsystems in 1995. The programming language designed for use in the distributed environment of the Internet (TechTarget). Although it was designed to have the "look and feel" of the C++ language, it offers greater ease of use and enforces an object-oriented programming model. Programmers can use Java to create complete applications that may run on a single computer or be distributed among servers and clients in a network. Programmers can also use Java to build a small application module or applet for use as part of a Web page. Applets make it possible for a Web page user to interact with the page.

JavaScript is an interpreted programming or script language created by Netscape to integrate the functionality of Java with HTML (TechTarget). It is similar in capability to Microsoft's Visual asic, Sun's Tcl, the UNIX-derived Perl, and IM's Rexx. Script languages are easier…...

Both desktop and Web widgets have the same basic components. Fundamentally, they use Web compatible formats, even if intended to run in a desktop environment. This means that the core of the widget is HTML and CSS code which contains the actual content of the widget, namely text, linked images/video or content pulled from a server of Web service. Alternatively, the widget content can be created using Flash, although this may limit its use on some mobile devices. The content is contained within an XML file that provides essential metadata about the widget, such as its name, version, language, etc. The third component of most widgets is JavaScript, which is used to provide the programming logic behind any interactivity in the widget. To make widgets run in different environments typically necessitates only changing elements of the metadata contained in the XML file. There are sites such as Wix.com or…...

DHTML dead?
In the view of many pundits there seems to be little doubt that DHTML has seen its best days and is, in terms of serious development, a dead issue. As Russell Jones writing for DevX.Com, states:

The bottom line is: DHTML is dead for serious application development; browsers, as application delivery platforms, are past their peak; and the future of distributed, interactive applications -- at least on Windows -- belongs to .NET. If you're developing these types of applications and you're not learning .NET, you may want to rethink your career plans.

(Jones R.A.)

This view points to a number of issues relating to the present status and future of DHTML -- including the fact that there are numerous alternatives technologies which are more innovative and practically interesting from a developer's point-of-view.

riefly, at present there are a number of opposing points-of-view. On the one hand there are those who discount DHTML…...

The protocols for such services are often difficult to distinguish from line noise. Even if such services were not trying to make their protocols difficult to reverse-engineer, Jabber's would likely still be easier to work with because of its XML basis. Software which supports XML can easily handle supporting new XML document tyes, such as the Jabber protocol, and a raw dump of the traffic would look familiar to anyone who has built a web page: tag-based markup intended to be human-readable.
When the World Wide Web was new, many predicted that it would replace traditional desktop applications. Java applets were usually the means by which this was to happen, though in reality they have much in common with regular desktop applications. Using normal web pages as a user interface to an applications has significant disadvantages relative to a normal desktop application, most of which are related to the fact…...

Internet Explorer and Netscape Browsers
Most people in 2005 have accessed the orld ide eb, and chances are, they used Microsoft Internet Explorer to do it. In 1995, the situation was quite different; far fewer people had accessed the eb, and most of those who had used Netscape Navigator. Microsoft saw Netscape and the eb as a competitive threat to its operating system business, and launched its own browser to compete. The release of version 2 of each browser represented the real beginning of the "browser wars" of the 1990s. Netscape Navigator 2.0 is a more mature product than Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0, however, Internet Explorer 2.0 has several user-interface features that are better designed. Internet Explorer is less focused on directing users to specific websites than Netscape is, and appears cleaner as a result. Netscape's menus offer more options that those in Internet Explorer, but many of those are…...

Auditing, Monitoring, Intrusion Prevention, Detection, and Penetration Testing
The network vulnerability is a major security weakness that allows an attacker reducing computer information assurance. Vulnerability intersects three elements: a system flaw, the attacker is having access to the flaw, and ability to exploit the flaw. Thus, a security risk is classified as a vulnerability that is tied to a great significant loss. The vulnerability can erode data confidential, system integrity and availability of data.

The objective of this study is to carry out analysis of two research articles that discusses the network vulnerabilities in the IT environment. (Jackson, et al.2008, Sommer, et al. 2003). Both articles believe that attackers exploit the network vulnerabilities to inflict damages in the information systems. Moreover, the two articles agree that the traditional securities such as network IDS (intrusion detection system) (Sommer, et al. 2003) and DNS pinning (Jackson, et al.2008) are no more effective in guiding…...

The responsibility to seek out and use the most appropriate form of protection for a particular system lies with its user. If a user does not regard these duties with the appropriate seriousness, the consequences could be dire indeed. Another very threatening form of computer crime is the phishing scam.

Phishing

Phishing involves email from an apparently legitimate source such as a bank or other place of business that requires the user to respond with personal information. Most commonly, banks are used as a front for these scams. The most common messages of this type is that a user's account has been disabled and will only be reinstated once the apparent company has received the specific requested data. When a user sends this data, the criminal can then use it for his or her own purposes, such as identity theft or credit card fraud.

One of the best examples of a mash-up being made possible by the AJAX programming language is the work of Dr. Hans Rosling and his apMinder program at apminder.org (Phelps, Cseh, 2009). Dr. Rosling has taken the data set from the United Nations and added in analytics to determine the correlation of income to health. He is a regular speaker at TED (Technology, Entertainment & Design) Conferences and is considered one of the top 20 presenters of all time at this distinguished and prestigious global conference. His insights into the correlation of income and health have been widely used by governments globally and he is a frequent lecturer at the U.S. State Department. Dr. Rosling's insights are well worth listening to on the TED site and also working with his apminder.org application as well.

Given the fact that users have come to expect more and more data being available in their Web-based applications and the delivery of it to be personalized and fast, AJAX has also been expanded to support much greater levels of integration as well (Robertson, Saxton, Van Gucht, Vansummeren, 2009). This aspect of being able to integrate data from XML data streams for other Web applications' use, integrating to legacy systems in companies and also from Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems for pricing and product data for example, is establishing AJAX as a standard in corporations. As more corporations adopt AJAX as a standard there will continue to be more integration options defined and greater use of mash-ups in mainstream Web applications as a result. This is going to greatly enrich the user experience online as it will present data in entirely new contexts and with entirely new relationships.

Impact of Web-based Application Development on Society

Google fans globally don't realize it but they are reaping the benefits of AJAX application development advances daily (MacVittie, 2007). Google has customized their own version of AJAX, which is called Python. The Google version of AJAX is quickly revolutionizing how the world searches out and finds information online. In speaking previously about how quickly Internet users' expectations are increasing with regard to application performance, AJAX is a catalyst of these expectations growing continually. The one areas this is particularly true is in social networking applications including Facebook, Friendfeed, Twitter and many others discussed in Appendix B of this paper. AJAX is making it possible for these applications to deliver real-time updates and also stay secure and reliable enough to scale

0, encompassing data aggregation, the ability to manage projections of data from content repositories and the ability to create cross-products or mash-ups. The article's title connotes this ambitious direction, and the author delivers with some excellent insights as well. The article concludes with the section, the User-Oriented Web: A Total Perspective section that discusses how aggregation, projection and mashups will impact users, the author ties together the progression of technological developments from a technological and process standpoint effectively. The significance of the article is both as a refresher of key concepts but also of explanations of how to web gadgets are going to revolutionize Web application development as well.

Security
Mobile Code

Mobile code creates a required programming device to provide adaptability to form distributed systems for the Internet viz. Java Applets. (Mobile Code Security) Mobile code may be defined as small bits of software, which can without a user initiating action or even without his knowledge, be automatically downloaded into the workstation and executed. Without suitable controls appropriately positioned, there is the possibility of security risks, as these executable programs are downloaded from a server. Though mobile code meets the demand for functionality, it is necessary to protect any organization's system and networks from malicious mobile code, by writing a suitable security policy. (Writing Mobile Code Policies) Every initiator has the capability to generate independent mobile agents that can remit to unrestricted number of hosts and thereafter come back to the initiator.

AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) has revolutionized web development by allowing for dynamic, interactive and seamless user experiences on websites. Some key ways in which AJAX has transformed web development include:

1. Improved user experience: AJAX enables websites to load content dynamically without having to refresh the entire page. This results in faster loading times and a more seamless browsing experience for users.

2. Reduced server load: By making asynchronous requests to the server, AJAX significantly reduces the amount of data that needs to be transferred back and forth between the client and server. This helps to improve website performance and scalability.

AJAX: A Paradigm Shift in Web Development

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) emerged as a game-changer in web development, revolutionizing the user experience and redefining the possibilities of web applications. By allowing web pages to communicate with the server in the background without reloading the entire page, AJAX introduced a new era of interactivity, responsiveness, and efficient data handling.

1. Enhanced User Experience:

AJAX transformed web applications from static pages into interactive and responsive experiences. Users could now perform actions on a webpage without waiting for the entire page to be reloaded, resulting in a seamless and engaging experience. This enhanced user satisfaction....
