52.1 PROTECTION IN APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT.

In computer installations where systems development takes place, there are technologies that tend to enhance security. These technologies, together with mandatory organizational procedures and standards, force analysts and programmers to adhere to guidelines when they are developing in-house applications or systems to be marketed. This chapter reviews some of the methods programmers use to prevent and identify problems involving data corruption or unavailability.

One of the underpinnings of modern programming is the technology known as the database management system (DBMS). Many applications are developed using this technology. A contemporary RDBMS supports relational databases. Relational databases themselves are based on an underlying technology developed in the 1960s and implemented through the remainder of the twentieth century. It ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
