Notice: A number of our company EMail accounts are currently being SPOOFED. This means that you may have received an email saying that it was from us when sadly it was not.

Definition: Email spoofing is the creation of email messages with a forged sender address. Because the core email protocols do not have any mechanism for authentication, it is common for spam and phishing emails to use such spoofing to mislead or even prank the recipient about the origin of the message.

Technologies

There are two main categories of coding, scripting and programming for creating Web Applications:

I. Client Side Scripting / Coding - Client Side Scripting is the type of code that is executed or interpreted by browsers. Client Side Scripting is generally viewable by any visitor to a site (from the view menu click on "View Source" to view the source code).

Below are some common Client Side Scripting technologies:

  • HTML (HyperText Markup Language)
  • CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
  • JavaScript
  • Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML)
  • jQuery (JavaScript Framework Library - commonly used in Ajax development)
  • MooTools (JavaScript Framework Library - commonly used in Ajax development)
  • Dojo Toolkit (JavaScript Framework Library - commonly used in Ajax development)
  • II. Server Side Scripting / Coding - Server Side Scripting is the type of code that is executed or interpreted by the web server.
 

Server Side Scripting is not viewable or accessible by any visitor or general public.

Below are the common Server Side Scripting technologies:

  • PHP (very common Server Side Scripting language - Linux / Unix based Open Source - free redistribution, usually combines with MySQL database)
  • Zend Framework (PHP's Object Oriented Web Application Framework)
  • ASP (Microsoft Web Server (IIS) Scripting language)
  • ASP.NET (Microsoft's Web Application Framework - successor of ASP)
  • ColdFusion (Adobe's Web Application Framework)
  • Ruby on Rails (Ruby programming's Web Application Framework - free redistribution)
  • Perl (general purpose high-level programming language and Server Side Scripting Language - free redistribution - lost its popularity to PHP)
  • Python (general purpose high-level programming language and Server Side Scripting language - free redistribution)
  • Web Applications Lifecycle Model
Web Application Lifecycle is the process of developing a web application and involvement of the multiple teams that are engaged in the development process. Each organization may set forth its own unique style of operating.

Some companies follow a certain standard model such as SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) or Agile Software Development Model. SDLC is the traditional process of developing software or web applications by including research to identify and define the application requirements, information analysis, architectural design and specifications blueprint, team involvement, programming, testing and bug fixing, system testing, implementation and maintenance.
Agile Software / Web Application Development is the iterative development process and development process practices that focus on collaboration of people involved and provide a better procedure to allow revisions and evolution of web application requirements. Agile methodology includes research, analysis, project management, design, programming, implementation, frequent testing, adaptation and maintenance.
