| Improve web application security with jQuery Mobile
Many web developers consider security a low priority. Security is frequently relegated to the end of the software development life cycle, as little more than an afterthought. Sometimes, software security is neglected entirely, resulting in applications rife with common vulnerabilities. Because such bugs might manifest only under conditions present during an attack, they can be hard to detect prior to such events without knowledge of how the exploitation process works. Using a web application built with jQuery Mobile, PHP, and MySQL, this tutorial shows how many types of vulnerabilities occur along with common methods of exploitation and, most importantly, their respective countermeasures.

| Build an Ajax application with the Dojo Toolkit
The Dojo toolkit is a JavaScript library that makes the process of
building large JavaScript-based Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) much simpler. With a
wide range of features, from DOM querying and manipulation, Asynchronous JavaScript
and XML (Ajax) request
handling, excellent object-orientation support, and a full user interface widget
library (Dijit), Dojo is an excellent library to use to build a dynamic and
interactive web application. In this tutorial, learn about many of the concepts of
Dojo and the Dijit widget library through the development of a fully featured sample
application, a contact manager system. This application lets a user browse, create,
edit, and remove contacts (and contact groups) from a MySQL database. PHP is used on

| The ultimate mashup -- Web services and the semantic Web, Part 3: Understand RDF and RDFs
The power of the ultimate mashup is the intelligence you'll build into it by using semantic Web techniques, specifically the Web Ontology Language (OWL). But before you can tackle OWL, you want to be familiar with its base language, the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and RDF Schema Language (RDFs). This tutorial gives you a good background in both RDF and RDFs so you'll be ready to build ontologies for your Web services, and also able to make use of RDF's power with other projects as well.
