Hypermedia On Whatever you'd Like

In this essay, Carson Gross explores the concept of 'The HOWL Stack' (Hypermedia On Whatever you'd Like) and argues that using a hypermedia-driven approach for web applications allows developers to choose their preferred server-side technology, freeing them from the pressure to use JavaScript throughout their entire stack while maintaining modern web functionality through HTML and hypermedia enhancements.

CSRF Demystified

Cross-Site Request Forgery has been all over the press recently since several major sites and web applications were plagued by exploits and uncovered vulnerabilities - including GMail, Google AdSense and many others. When talking to developers about CSRF there's mostly not that much knowledge and a lot of misconceptions and FUD. Sometimes the term CSRF hasn't even been heard of before. So, with this article, I will try to provide a basic explanation about the attack pattern itself, come up with several real word examples and finally summarize a list of things developers can do to protect their sites against CSRF attacks.

PG Phriday: Why Postgres is the Best Database Engine

Last Phriday we explored just where Postgres could end up in the future. One possible question which may have occurred to a reader was probably something along the lines of “That doesn’t even really sound like Postgres anymore. Why not just write another database?” Let’s just be outright about it: Postgres is the best RDBMS engine currently available.

The acronym LAMP was used a lot, meaning Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.\nThe first websites I built were on Solaris running the Netscape web server, but LAMP made building websites open to everyone. It didn’t cost anything in license fees, ran on commodity hardware and it was pretty good.\n
