Wrox | ISBN: 0470133945 | October 1, 2007 | 480 pages | PDF | 8.7 MB

Professional Joomla walks the reader through Joomla, an open content management system that is rapidly growing in popularity. Readers will quickly advance from installation, integration, and set-up topics to digging into the underlying PHP and MySQL whose flexibility is driving the growth of the platform. Readers will explore load balancing, log tracking, and even search engine optimization. From a user standpoint, Joomla offers tremendous ease of use and simplicity. The elegant dashboard based upon the KDE interface allows content to be updated in minutes and data to flow freely from outside sources. Administrators and developers have he capability to customize virtually every aspect of the platform. For this reason extra attention is given to topics like plug-ins, the API, design and skinning, and integration with existing databases, websites, and web services.

More and more Web sites are being rewritten as Ajax applications; even traditional desktop software is rapidly moving to the Web via Ajax. But, all too often, this transition is being made with reckless disregard for security. If Ajax applications aren’t designed and coded properly, they can be susceptible to far more dangerous security vulnerabilities than conventional Web or desktop software. Ajax developers desperately need guidance on securing their applications: knowledge that’s been virtually impossible to find, until now.


Ajax Security systematically debunks today’s most dangerous myths about Ajax security, illustrating key points with detailed case studies of actual exploited Ajax vulnerabilities, ranging from MySpace’s Samy worm to MacWorld’s conference code validator. Even more important, it delivers specific, up-to-the-minute recommendations for securing Ajax applications in each major Web programming language and environment, including .NET, Java, PHP, and even Ruby on Rails. You’ll learn how to:

· Mitigate unique risks associated with Ajax, including overly granular Web services, application control flow tampering, and manipulation of program logic

· Write new Ajax code more safely—and identify and fix flaws in existing code

· Prevent emerging Ajax-specific attacks, including JavaScript hijacking and persistent storage theft

· Avoid attacks based on XSS and SQL Injection—including a dangerous SQL Injection variant that can extract an entire backend database with just two requests

· Leverage security built into Ajax frameworks like Prototype, Dojo, and ASP.NET AJAX Extensions—and recognize what you still must implement on your own

· Create more secure “mashup” applications

Ajax Security will be an indispensable resource for developers coding or maintaining Ajax applications; architects and development managers planning or designing new Ajax software, and all software security professionals, from QA specialists to penetration testers.

IT organizations face pressure to increase productivity, improve application performance, support global collaboration, improve data protection, and minimize costs. In today’s WAN-centered environments, traditional LAN-oriented infrastructure approaches are insufficient to meet these goals. Application Acceleration and WAN Optimization Fundamentals introduces a better solution: integrating today’s new generation of accelerator solutions to efficiently and effectively scale networks beyond traditional capabilities while improving performance and minimizing costs through consolidation.

Ted Grevers and Joel Christner begin by reviewing the challenges network professionals face in delivering applications to globally distributed workforces. You learn how accelerators are transforming application business models, enabling IT departments to centralize and consolidate resources while also delivering consistently superior performance.

Grevers and Christner show how to identify network consumers, prioritize traffic, and guarantee appropriate throughput and response times to business-critical applications. You learn how to use quality of service techniques such as packet classification and marking and traffic policing, queuing, scheduling, and shaping.

Next, you compare options for integrating accelerators and optimization services into your network and for optimizing content delivery. The authors show how to address application protocol-related performance problems that cannot be resolved through compression or flow optimization alone. In the final chapter, the authors walk you through several real-world scenarios for utilizing accelerator technology.

Ted Grevers, Jr., is the solution manager for the Cisco® Video IPTV Systems Test and Architecture (C-VISTA) team. He has extensive experience in the content delivery network (CDN) market, focusing on enterprise and service provider content delivery and application optimization needs.

Joel Christner, CCIE® No. 15311, is the manager of technical marketing for the Cisco Application Delivery Business Unit (ADBU). He has extensive experience with application protocols, acceleration technologies, LAN/WAN infrastructure, and storage networking. Grevers and Christner are key contributors to the design and architecture of Cisco application delivery and application acceleration solutions.

* Provide high-performance access to remote data, content, video, rich media, and applications
* Understand how accelerators can improve network performance and minimize bandwidth consumption
* Use NetFlow to baseline application requirements and network utilization
* Ensure network resources are allocated based on business priorities
* Identify performance barriers arising from networks, protocols, operating systems, hardware, file systems, and applications

Computer security products are not foolproof. Many PCs may be infected even though users and businesses have up to date anti-virus and anti-spyware products. Returnil Virtual
System Premium Edition reinforces users control over their computers and protects systems from all forms of malware, such as viruses, Trojans, rootkits and other unwanted programs, ensuring ultimate Internet Privacy.
Returnil virtualization technology clones a computer’s System Partition and boots the PC
into this system rather than native Windows, allowing users to run your applications in
a completely isolated environment. Hence the session and all activity, malicious or otherwise, will happen in the virtual environment, not in the real PC environment. If the PC is attacked or gets infected, all you need to do is to simply reboot the PC to erase all changes. After reboot, the system will be restored to its original state, as if nothing ever happened.
Returnil Virtual System product has had over 900,000 downloads since its launch. "This
vast number of downloads in just 1 year, along with an active user base, is a strong
indication that Returnil's products have been quickly embraced by consumers and experts alike," said Michael Wood.
New in Returnil Virtual System 2008 Premium Edition:

* Redesigned, intuitive, and more mature User Interface
* Third party Virtual Partition access control
* Choice between Memory and Disk caching
* Selective file and folder change commit while using System Protection and Session Lock
* Total session save
* File and Folder list Manager with import/export support
* Easier access to the System File and Folder Relocation Tool
* Updated user & Help Manual

It is time to reject outdated thinking and get proactive system integrity protection! When
using the Returnil Virtual System, users will have a completely new approach to computer
security. Moreover, users will discover that simple, targeted, and well-designed security
solutions can be more effective and relevant than the existing bloat-ware solutions their
systems are dealing with now!
