In a recent post in Mozilla Security Blog , Brandon Sterne Security Program Manager talked about Mozilla effort to shut down XSS (Cross-Site-Scripting) attacks with Content Security Policy. For several years, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks have plagued many of the web’s most popular sites and victimized their users. At Mozilla, we’ve been working for the last year on a new technology called Content Security Policy , designed to shut these attacks down. Mozilla is making efforts not only to make Firefox the fastest browser, but also the most secure platform. Brandon explains CSP approach to validate content : In order to differentiate legitimate content from injected or modified content, CSP requires that all JavaScript for a page be 1) loaded from an external file, and 2) served from an explicitly approved host. This means that all inline script, javascript: URIs, and event-handling HTML attributes will be ignored.

Wordpress have just released version 2.8.1 with handful of bugs fixed; Notable issues that are fixed in beta 1 include : Certain themes were calling get_categories() in such a way that it would fail in 2.8. 2.8.1 works around this so these themes won’t have to change. Dashboard memory usage is reduced. Some people were running out of memory when loading the dashboard, resulting in an incomplete page. The automatic upgrade no longer accidentally deletes files when cleaning up from a failed upgrade. A problem where the rich text editor wasn’t being loaded due to compression issues has been worked around

Davey Shafik posted recently a very interesting article making the case for PHP . It’s not about comparing programming languages capabilities, but especially concerning access to people and market penetration. Davey pointed to an old post that gives an estimation of Perl, Php, Python and Ruby Programmers availability according to most popular search engines. I updated the estimation so we can have most accurate results. The table below illustrates the results found, I have just truncated Bing results to 1M to have more readable chart, after all I don’t believe there are 50M resumes indexed by Microsoft – and that’s another topic. PHP Perl Ruby Python Google 788000 57000 14100 26300 Yahoo 541000 377000 41500 82400 Bing (MSN) 59700000 10200 18400 4900 Programmer’s Resumes in Search Engines

Stefan Priebsch and Sebastian Bergmann, are writing a book on ” Quality Assurance in PHP Projects “. The book will be published in English and German at the same time later this year. The idea for the book is that Stefan Priebsch and Sebastian write the introductory as well as the concluding chapters while other authors contribute case studies for the middle part of the book. An excellent idea that will provide amazing information and experience in quality assurance within any PHP project. It’s interesting to see how different developers approach differently quality assurance in their PHP projects. The book target intermediate and advanced developers who are looking for Unit Testing best practice to help making stable and successful projects. No need to mention that Sebastian Bergmann is the creator of the PHPUnit in addition to many others open source tools.
