From today's
SLC Tech Breakfast:
Staying secure with guns; Dan recommends TheBoxOTruth.com for gun education
passwords and sharing
- SpiderOak (Makani doesn't recommend for UI)
- LastPass.com (password sharing)
- locking password file: KeePassX, OnePassword, LastPass
For security, Dan wants a hand-held retina-scanner (not a hand-held-retina scanner)
Quantum entanglement, Dan will look up whether a recent experiment that supposedly allowed faster-than-light communication
Sharing code from different languages
- one way is to use JVM-based languages that can be compile-time checked (Josh)
- in C# shop, wants to use Java tool (Flying Saucer) to convert documents, used IKVM.net, also see JNBridge.com (Dan)
- make web-services the architectural organization (Josh)... that's how we organize in FLUX networking (Ryan)
Enterprise security: we share an encrypted DB (KeePassX), but if an employee leaves...?
The best solution is an OAuth-style, revokable auth
OAuth is recommended for phones, too... including web auth (Josh)
How good are your unit tests? (Dan)
- We have over 10% coverage with Sonar (Josh)
- Continuous build: Hudson, Cruise Control
How do we manage DB versioning? (Dan)
- custom system, which builds at any version (Makani)
- each DB change represented by create SQL and hopefully reverse SQL, table with version number in DB (Josh & Makani)
- potentially: make each change a non-breaking change with previous version, so code roll-back is easy, eg. rename is add followed by drop later (Makani)
"No fluff just stuff" conference downtown SLC (Josh)
Jsconf JavaScript conferences
Defrag conference in Denver (Trent)
Javascript libraries: Require, Promise interface, dojo for apps (Josh)
