TypeScript, an answer to JavaScript’s perceived flaws?
It is perhaps a little surprising when Microsoft introduced a new language called Typescript; Why Java script isn’t enough? Do we really need such a language when we have several advanced languages (coffeeScript, Dart) with additional functionalities? But sometimes it is not about choosing the best technology, but which best suits your requirement. With this concept, Microsoft’s new language ‘Type Script’ argues, it best suits in the development of ‘large’ applications. Let’s glance into some of its development facilities and interesting IDE features.
It’s a known fact that Java script has emerged as a de-facto scripting language in the World Wide Web. Type Script is an attempt from Microsoft to replace or build upon Java script due to the challenges while dealing with complex programming. Now what is it all about? TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript aimed to develop large scale JS applications. It is essentially syntax for the next version of java script. That means you can write regular JavaScript inside of Type Script and i...

One of the important components of software engineering is the platforms. There are many various types of computing platforms. A few of these include AmigaOS, Linux, Windows, Solaris. These examples are just a few of many different computing platforms. The types of computing platforms can be differentiated into three different categories, which include operating-system examples, software frame work examples, and also hardware examples. Each of the different platforms has slightly different requirements and means of maintenance. Even the required standards for the platforms differentiate depending on which platform being used. Platforms are a vital part of systems and for applications, and are available in many various forms. The basis of this paper is mainly to observe the differences and similarities of four of these platforms. The particular platforms being compared and contrasted with each other include: Linux, Microsoft Windows, UNIX, and Macintosh. The purpose is to look at the purpose of each of these platforms and also to perceive the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Software engineering is a relatively new career but the most important component of software engineering, the computer, has a long history that started many centuries ago. The abacus, a tool composed of beads and strings representing numbers, is considered by many to be the original computing device. The abacus, a device developed in Asia, was widely used during the Middle Ages. The abacus is still used today by many students. The next important milestone in the creation o...

Software applications are powerful tools in the battle to make businesses more efficient and effective. Many have tried to make do with commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS), only to find that their specific needs demanded professionally developed software. Others insist on reinventing the wheel by developing software in areas where vendors are offering an already mature, reliable and relatively cheap version to buy.
We've been testing the .NET pre-beta (now downloadable from msdn.microsoft.com/net) for several weeks. Attendees of Microsoft's Professional Developers Conference (PDC) 2000 in Orlando,Fla., ourselves among them, received a stack of CDs with the .NET preview, plus a good deal of software not yet released. The combination of the .NET components adds up to a strikingly complete picture of what .NET will be on its release. With an uncharacteristically stable and feature-rich pre-beta, relationships already in place with third-party tools suppliers, and even books on .NET topics, Microsoft could drive .NET to market with head-spinning speed. But until Microsoft publishes its schedule for .NET's release, it's best to plan for a debut that's months rather than years awayWe've been testing the .NET pre-beta (now downloadable from msdn.microsoft.com/net) for several weeks.

Over the past few years a debate between Flash and HTML5 has been gaining more attention as HTML5 becomes more developed and polished. Flash has been the web standard for websites since the late 1990’s but HTML5 is quickly gaining ground and is considered by some as the standard of the “future”. Another aspect of the debate is whether or not we should go with open web standards or closed, Flash being the latter. Even though 85% of the most-visited websites run on flash, HTML5 is the future because HTML5 combined with javascript and CSS3 offers the same capabilities as flash and HTML5 can avoid many issues that Flash faces by being open source.
It also includes pair programming where two developers work on the same pc, while one typing and other offered advice. This improved programs productivity and decrease error.
Essentially, Adobe Flash has managed to broaden our general comprehension of the innovative and enhanced Web 2.0 for the World Wide Web. Without this advanced software programming, the world would not experience the luxury of quality video and audio transmission. As a result, the world has evolved with the contemporary internet becoming more efficient each day. To this day, frequent users of Adobe Flash may thank the creator, Jonathan Gay for his contributions towards the dynamic World Wide Web.
OOP requires more discipline, management and training than classic software development does. (Shah 1997, 1) Even though it dominates the tech industry, object-oriented programming is a poorly defined, amorphous concept.
Everyday tech users are increasingly engaged with web and mobile applications. These programs have many uses and can be very helpful in progressive usage. However, these applications also serve as the most accessible point of entry for malicious attackers to wreak havoc. The continual growth and usage of web-applications makes the infrastructure one that is susceptible to attack due to lack of thorough security implementation. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a community-based non-profit organization that concentrates on increasing the safety in the realm of web applications. It was started in 2001 and ever since then its primary goal has been to create a high level of transparency in the web applications and software in order to allow society to make informed decisions. They have a very open and collaborative mentality when it comes to the sharing of knowledge to include and empower the masses. Each year OWASP publishes a list of most common web application vulnerabilities. The top three have remained relatively dominant over the past few years, regardless of which place they fall into. In 2013 they were: injection, broken authentication and session management, and cross-site scripting. The purpose of this paper is to delve further into three of the top web application vulnerabilities from the past few years and evaluate their impact.
Type refers to an object that belongs to class with similar characteristics. In architecture type refers to the objects with same formal structure or use. Typology in turn signifies the study of types
Type design, is making letterforms that people use to present their ideas. Its task is to create the forms and shapes that connect the content of the spoken and written languages with durable physical existence. The ability to bridge the gap between form and content has been continuing to evolve from oral communications and handwritten manuscripts to print media and furthermore to digital platforms. This process of creating alphabet forms is an art requiring sensitivity to technology, social needs and cultural functions in regard to aesthetics.
Software has become critical to advancement in almost all areas of human endeavor. The art of programming only is no longer sufficient to construct large programs. There are serious problems in the cost, timeliness, maintenance and quality of many software products.
