SourceGuardian Case Study: Web Sudoku | 2009-01-01 | SourceGuardian |
| Web Sudoku runs WebSudoku.com, the most popular Sudoku website on the Internet with 250,000 unique visitors daily. The company, which is based in Israel, runs in four different languages English, Spanish, German and French. Web Sudoku uses SourceGuardian to encrypt the PHP files that it provides customers as part of its Sudoku engine package. With SourceGuardian, the company can provide an OEM/white label version of its engine for safely embedding in third party sites. Its customers can customize the look and feel of the sites by modifying HTML and CSS, but the code of the core Sudoku engine remains unreadable. Flash-based solutions would not make this possible.

Adobe AIR 1.5 Security | 2008-11-14 | Adobe Systems |
| Although the AIR security model is an evolution of the security model for SWF content running in Flash Player and HTML content running in the browser, the security contract is different from the security contract applied to content in a browser. This contract offers developers a secure means of broader functionality for rich experiences with freedoms that would be inappropriate for a browser-based application.

Adobe AIR 1.5 HTML Security | 2008-11-14 | Adobe Systems |
| The Adobe AIR HTML security model is based on developer feedback and an evolving understanding of the security issues inherent in developing HTML and Ajax applications. The development of Rich Internet Applications for AIR presents new challenges because AIR applications provide, unlike Web-based RIAs, access to the desktop. This means that AIR applications can read and write files, draw to the screen, communicate with the network, and so on. Security is a key concern of Adobe, users, system administrators, and application developers. For this reason, Adobe AIR includes a set of security rules and controls to safeguard the user and application developer. This white paper presents the security considerations in developing HTML-based AIR applications.

"Getting Real" With RDF and SPARQL | 2008-09-23 | JupiterMedia |
| The "Getting Real" approach by Web 2.0 poster child 37signals reverses the usual development process (from model to code to user interface) by going "From brainstorm to user interface sketches to HTML to coding." Principles such as, "Don't write a functional specification," or "Essentials only" can help developers stay focused and thus reduce the time-to-launch. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) supports and accelerates many code-oriented aspects of Getting Real. For illustration, this paper describes how to create dooit, a simple to-do list manager (a nice type of software that is usually prone to feature creep during the design phase).

IT Analysis - Sustained Disruption | 2008-09-22 | Quocirca |
| Every so often something comes along that change the established order. The most oft quoted examples in the technology marketplace are the internet, HTML, the ecommerce model, open source, and distributed computing. Some of them are seen coming a mile off; the shift from the use of the internet as a research collaboration tool to one of transactional commerce was fairly obvious once HTML took the geek out of the game of browse and seek.

Writing Functional Code With RDFa | 2008-09-04 | JupiterMedia |
| News feeds in all their manifestations - both with and without RDF - have a long tradition as structured data on the web. RDF - the data model - can state relations between certain entities. For example, one relation between a human and a feed could be conceived as creator. In contrast, HTML is about structure and presentation, the semantics of the conveyed data is not - and cannot - be represented. Presentation-oriented formats such as HTML are useful for users, but typically cause rather expensive back-end processing (along with heuristics). However, the RDF data model is useless without serialization syntaxes that are available to exchange representations online. To date, RDF/XML is the only official RDF serialization syntax that is available for developers to use.

A 3D Exploration of the HTML Canvas Element | 2008-08-26 | JupiterMedia |
| Vector graphics abound on the web, and they come in a variety of formats, including Flash and SVG. HTML Canvas, one of the newer incarnations, occupies a different niche from other vector graphics systems. While SVG is a declarative graphics file format that can be rendered by any kind of program and Flash is built around a complete multimedia system (including browser plug-in libraries, the ActionScript scripting language, and content-creation tools), HTML Canvas is HTML. In fact, HTML Canvas is part of the upcoming HTML 5 specification. As such, the HTML Canvas is integrated into the DOM tree, which means it can be accessed from JavaScript. Thus, the HTML Canvas allows one to do many of the things that Flash and SVG renderers can do.

Creating Rich Internet Applications With the Adobe Technology Platform | 2008-07-01 | Adobe Systems |
| As software has increased in use and importance, the applications people depend on in all aspects of their lives have evolved along a dual path of richness and reach. In the early days of computing, mainframe applications, while powerful for single-purpose problem solving, were neither rich in functionality nor did they have broad reach. As the new generation of personal computers spread throughout businesses, schools, and homes, richer graphical applications evolved with improved functionality and usability. The reach of these user-centric applications, however, was limited to the local desktop and to servers on local networks.

Why Use a Web Content Management System?: (Instead of a HTML Editor) | 2008-06-01 | SiteLeads.net |
| A Content Management System (CMS) is a computer program used to create, edit, manage, and publish content in a consistently organized fashion. CMSs are frequently used for storing, controlling, versioning, and publishing documentation such as news articles, operators' manuals, technical manuals, sales guides, and marketing brochures. Today, they are most often used to control the contents of a website. Such a CMS is called a Web Content Management System (WCMS).
