iOS & Android Development

Feeling weird while doing MVC in iOS? Have doubts about switching to MVVM? Heard about VIPER, but not sure if it worth it? You are about to structure your knowledge about architectural patterns in iOS environment. We’ll briefly review some popular ones and compare them in theory and practice going over a few tiny examples. Follow links if you need more details about any particular one. Mastering design patterns might be addictive, so beware: you might end up asking yourself more questions now than before reading this article, like these: Who supposed to own networking request: a Model or a Controller? How do I pass a Model into a View Model of a new View? Who creates a new VIPER module: Router or Presenter? Bohdan Orlov medium.com

Secure Coding Practices - Quick Reference Guide The OWASP Java™ and JVM Technology Knowledge Base is the clearing house for all information related to building secure web/distributed applications and services based on Java and JVM technologies. The focus of these pages is on guidance for developers and architects using Java frameworks and JVM based technologies for web application development, on OWASP components that use Java and on participation in OWASP projects that use Java and JVM technologies. Moreover, we aim to provide security related guidance for system administrators managing Java and JVM based applications and tools. The project is not limited to Java. It aims to also address topics around the JVM in general. Community content is key to security information. The project depends on content from developers throughout the Java and JVM ecosystem.
