The era of the Cloud has arrived. Early adopters jumped in and have been swimming around in the misty globules above the earth for some time now. And the rest of the world is joining in, personally, professionally, and theoretically. But the Cloud really isn’t in the sky.

Understanding the Secure Development Life Cycle

by

It takes research, development and testing to deploy a secure web or mobile application that users can access or download with confidence. Application security is one of the biggest concerns in the tech world today. Many people are concerned that hackers will be able to exploit unlocked doors in the virtual world to break into their computers or mobile devices. Developers and those who support apps need to stay on top of the latest trends in secure development.

An application has the best chance of staying secure if it is developed using what is known as a secure development life cycle (SDLC). SDLC is comprised of seven phases. Each phase allows developers to build the most secure and user-friendly version of an app. Planning ahead by using an established life cycle makes it easy to anticipate and repair any vulnerabilities that may come as a result of the front-end design or back-end coding of an app. This approach can help developers avoid costly and unexpected security-related discoveries in the last stages of development.

by

If you have a computer or a mobile device, and you’re connected to the internet, then you can search through the world’s entire body of online information. And sometimes you want just basic information, whereas other times you’re specifically looking for tips and advice.

And five of those topics that millions (and millions and millions) of people are going to be looking for, every single day, include advice about dating, educational opportunities, the best place to find news, suggestions regarding social media use, and basic business tips. There’s so much data out there you’ll never look through it all, but if you at least find the most helpful stuff, that’s a positive experience.

Online Dating

Everyone want to be matched with the perfect person. That’s a basic, ingrained life goal. Find a partner. Ask them out. Get married and have kids. Go on romantic getaway. Those things all required finding that right match, and with the way that searches and filters work online these days, you’re never more than a few clicks away from finding people that share your similar interests. You don’t have to haunt bars anymore – you just have to find the right online dating sites!

Educational Opportunities

And there aren’t the same gatekeepers to education these days either. Education used to be expensive. Or highly protected among various circles of intellectuals. Now, it’s free for your taking if you can find educational websites that cater to your needs. You might not be able to get official certification without having to pay some cash somewhere along the line, but the information itself is most likely there, so long as you know how to search for free educational opportunities online. Many prestigious colleges offer free courses like this.

Where To Find Your News

Finding your news sources can be a tricky thing. You can either try to insulate yourself with what you want to hear, or you can absorb multiple news sources that center around certain topics. By searching for news online, you’ll get rid of some of your natural bias toward certain things like news channels or websites. Allow yourself freedom online, and expand your worldview.

Suggestions For Social Media Presence

One interesting thing about social media is that though everyone uses it now, not everyone does a great job of using it properly. There’s a flexible, growing social etiquette that comes with public posting, and if you feel like your presence isn’t quite right, searching online for tips is a good idea.

Business Tips

And one thing that business people love to do is write about how good they are at business! That means that you can search through all their tips, and specifically find the ones related to the industry that you’re interested in, and save yourself making a lot of mistakes you don’t have to.

Understanding Punishment Vs. Treatment With Respect To Addiction

by

When it comes to addiction and just generally addictive behaviors, there’s some conflict within the worldwide system of punishment versus the ideas of treatment. People who have become addicts of various sorts for different reasons end up getting wrung through the judicial system rather than getting sent to treatment facilities to actually get better.

So no matter what your personal moral compass is, it’s important that you understand how to interact with the legal system within the framework of your own behaviors, and the behaviors of others that you may be in touch with over time. Consider topics like abuse deterrence, how the private prison system works, the psychology of addiction, genetics, and the proof of hard data.

Client-Partnerships

No matter what industry you’re in, if you sell things, or if you create value somehow for your clients or customers, then you know how important the experience of the interaction is for them.

So if you want to be on the successful side of that equation, you need to pay attention to the different between features and experiences, you should have a chat option available through your website, you want to think long-term during interactions, and you want to make mobile browsing work for the modern information-seeker.
