| 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.

| Develop a store locator application using IBM DB2 pureXML and ASP.NET
In this connected and open world, where data flows freely, you can find a
vast amount of useful information on the Web. In the past, if you wanted to find
the location of the nearest store for your favorite retailer, you probably looked
it up in the telephone directory, found the company's phone number, called them,
and asked for directions to their nearest outlet. This method is a recipe for getting lost, wasting time, and a general frustration for the customer. Today, however, this has all changed. Now you simply open your Web browser and visit the company's Web site, where you can usually find a "Store Locator" feature that will help you find the store nearest to you, and conveniently plot it on a map to make it easier to find. In this tutorial, you will learn to develop such a feature using C# ASP.NET and an IBM DB2 database.

| Develop XML-driven Ajax applications fast with Data Studio
Web services are a popular way to communicate data over the Internet in XML format; databases have long since been an integral part of any Web application. With Data Studio, developers can integrate the two by defining SQL and SQL/XML queries that you can automatically build and deploy as a Web service. In this tutorial, you'll develop a data-driven Web service using Data Studio and craft an Ajax application for the gaming industry where users can browse games they want to play, search for them by title, and even add, edit, and delete games. The Ajax application running on the client communicates with the gaming Web service in XML format, both of which are served on WebSphere Application Server.

| Locate specific sections of your XML documents with XPath, Part 2
Part 1 of this tutorial gave you a foundational understanding of XPath. Using slash notation, wildcards, unions, and simple text, you learned how to locate elements and attributes anywhere within an XML document. However, sometimes you need more than just matching based on the name of a node. Predicates give you advanced and refined searching capabilities, allowing you to evaluate the values of attributes and the parent and child nodes of a targeted element. Rather than find a wider node set and refine or filter that set programmatically, you can add predicates to your XPaths to find exactly the nodes you want.

| Locate specific sections of your XML documents with XPath, Part 1
XML is a data format concerned primarily with compatibility and flexibility. But
as useful as XML is, it's limited without the abilities to find specific portions of a
document quickly and to filter and selectively locate data within a document. XPath
provides the ability to easily reference specific text, elements, and attributes within
a document -- and with a fairly low learning curve. Additionally, XPath is key to many other XML vocabularies and technologies, such as XSL and XQuery. This tutorial will teach you the fundamentals of XPath, including all of its various selectors and semantics, in an example-driven and hands-on manner.

| Process XML using XQuery
For years developers have used SQL to retrieve data from structured sources such as relational databases. But what about unstructured and semi-structured sources, such as XML data? To be viable as a data source, XML needed a means to conveniently retrieve the data. XQuery provides this means, allowing developers to write a statement that both extracts data and (if necessary) structures the results as XML. This tutorial shows you how to use XQuery to retrieve information from an XML document stored in an XQuery-enabled database. It also explains the ways in which XPath changes with version 2.0, and what those changes mean for data management.

| The ultimate mashup -- Web services and the semantic Web, Part 2: Manage a mashup data cache
The many massive applications that you use day to day for search, online shopping or to find your way around town provide data for your use in a completely new application. Enterprising application developers have created many mashup applications to coax a specific purpose out of the combination of several applications' data sets. Part 1 of this series discussed an application, which begins to draw data from several services and combines it. Now we will discuss how to save request results to a DB2 9 database, plus take some of the load off of those external services and improve performance dramatically.

| The ultimate mashup -- Web services and the semantic Web, Part 1: Use and combine Web services
As Web services grow in popularity, enterprising Web and application developers create new and innovative applications with their data. In addition to single-service applications, developers are creating mashups, applications that combine data from multiple services to create something new. This series chronicles the creation of the ultimate mashup, an application that not only stores data from different mashups but uses semantic technology to enable users to create their own mashups by swapping services, or even by picking and choosing data. It uses Java(TM) programming and a combination of servlets, JSP, software from the open source Jena project, and DB2's new native XML capabilities. In this part, Nicholas Chase introduces the concept of mashups, shows you how they work and how to build a simple version of one.

| 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.

| Hit the ground running with AIDE, Part 7: Better IT management
The IBM Autonomic Integrated Development Environment (AIDE) facilitates a model-driven approach to touchpoint development, which is a useful, factory-style, wizard-assisted pattern for producing generic touchpoints. However, at some point in the AIDE-driven workflow, the touchpoint must be made specific to a given application. You can do this either at the model design stage or manually through hard-coding. In this tutorial -- the seventh in the series -- discover techniques for creating both generic and specific touchpoints, and learn how to produce touchpoints that have the right mixture for a given management application.

| XML and Related Technologies certification prep, Part 4: XML transformations
When an application needs to share data with another system, it is often necessary to transform an XML document into another XML format, governed by a differing XML Schema or Document Type Definition (DTD). When an application is required to share or display XML data to a user, the XML document might be transformed into HTML, Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), VoiceXML, plain text, or any of a large number of human-readable formats. This XML certification tutorial deals with the XML transformations that make this happen by demonstrating the use of XSLT, XPath, and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
