Agreed, most people just need to take caution in what they browse and download.

Cant trust Anti Virus programs, because in my opinion they are the ones that created the viruses. So no such anti virus is actually working, as long we are aware of what we are browsing for and careful in downloading files, you should be saved from viruses.

You can use C or C++ for web apps, it is just that they do not have enough library for everything fo modern websites. That is why 99% web developers use C#/Java for their web stuffs

I guess all companies right now are considering running their apps on mobile phones. Its good that Microsoft actually created a tool to create those reduced pacakges for mobile phones.

Wow, I never knew CSS3 could do all of this. CSS3 must be really powerful to be able to create those animated effects that you mentioned. I am interested in learning some more about it. Good article!

Comment on Outsourcing to India by Irving Aguayo

In one of my courses we were assigned to do a simple task that in less than ten minutes. One person in the whole class was able to do the task in ten minutes, everyone else failed at it. The purpose of the task was to compare our skills to those in India. The students in India not only were able to accomplish such easy task but did it in less than five minutes.

Comment on Just Another Hack by Irving Aguayo

No system that exists today is hack proof. Its just a matter of time and patience that it would take someone to break into a system.

Comment on Being an Effective DBA (Database Admin) by Vincent Sanchez

Vincent Sanchez — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:07:30 +0000

Personally I am going into networking rather then database administration. But I do have lots of respect for database administrators as I know many of them and am aware of the complexity of their job sometimes. Many of the ideas are also network administrators have to be mindful of such as documentation. Effective tips, thanks for the post.

Comment on Financial services customers benefiting from SQL server by Vincent Sanchez

Vincent Sanchez — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:04:22 +0000

Although this particular article is only referring to the servers of banking systems, I am weary of so much digital conversion of financial services. There are more horror stories of the downfalls of these kinds of transitions then there are stories of unabridged success. Google Wallet is good example.

Comment on SQL Sever Encryption by Vincent Sanchez

Vincent Sanchez — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:00:23 +0000

Seems like this is a much needed innovation. Data is too easily accessed and compromised that there needs to be bigger safeguards for such a situation. It is useful for database administrators.

I enjoy watching how companies can make their products available for multiple platforms or to be used in various systems, but still manage to find a way to make them the most efficient or complete by using all of said company's products together. Google, Microsoft, and Apple all do this quite well with their wide array of products.

Comment on Hacking Into Apple’s Server by Cole O'Connor

I think the most worrisome hack I've seen lately is the one on Verisign, which provides security for almost all US domains, like.com and.net. It's a company that is paid for being secure… and it got hacked. Here's an article about it: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2399773,00.asp.

Great article, I was able to get get a lot of useful information from your blog. Regarding the idea to keep a log of what you do, great idea. It reminds me of the show "deadliest catch", captain Sig, always reviews his notes from previous years before deciding on where to fish. The job market is going to be pretty tough which is why we should be more diligent in preparing ourselves. Being a DBA will definitely be a high paying job.

This article is very informative and impressive in explaining the magnitude of services which can be delivered by this software. The feeling is mutual when referencing the scalability in which companies are using it. I'm actually pretty glad that we are able to learn something that is still current and hopefully it will still be current by the time we graduate.

Comment on Introducing DART from Google by Chris Sanches

This is cool, I'm sure if it does take off we'll be hearing more about it and programmers will only improve on it. I don't use chrome, but I might just download and try out chromium just to see what's up, thanks for the article!

Comment on ASP.NET Websites are Under Attack by Chris Sanches

Chris Sanches — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:42:29 +0000

This article is pretty informative. I think its the companies fault for not taking precautions since you stated that Microsoft has informed them on how to protect themselves from such attacks. Security is just as important as the software working properly, if not even more important. Very interesting article.

Comment on Automated Attacks by Steven Michael Cruz

Steven Michael Cruz — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:41:35 +0000

The worst thing about this automated hacking is that it is difficult for the government to be involved since they cannot trace where the attacks are coming from. There are few government regulations involved with electronic information, so it is easy for hackers to get away with stealing information. What's scary is that the information of people, businesses, banks, and even governments could be accessed by hackers and they could do whatever they want with it without getting in trouble if done properly.

Comment on Financial services customers benefiting from SQL server by Davina Vilaylak

The SQL server probably not only serves the customers well but the owners as well because it is so useful.It might be over whelming to use that type of technology. Using sophisticated software may be intimidating, but that is what some of us are getting into when we decided that we wanted to work in this industry. All we have to do is just get used to the software and live with it because it is not going anywhere until something better comes along, which may in fact may be more complicated than the previous one.

Comment on SQL ‘big data’ driving by Davina Vilaylak

I wonder if this trend that you mentioned will be danger us for the users in the long run. As much as a cloud sound really useful. I think that I would prefer that any information that I have has some place where it is physical enough for me to retrieve it from.
