Xbox Security
A lot of articles about Xbox hacking has been published earlier. The Xbox-Linux / Free60 team around Michael Steil has published a paper / wiki page called 17 Mistakes Microsoft Made in the Xbox Security System. It's an interesting article that worth your time; it points on mistakes that Microsoft's engineers have made during the development cycle of this machine.
Here is the link:

A xml reader writer in vb.NET
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a general-purpose specification for creating custom markup languages. It is classified as an extensible language because it allows its users to define their own elements. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the sharing of structured data across different information systems, particularly via the Internet, and it is used both to encode documents and to serialize data. In the latter context, it is comparable with other text-based serialization languages such as JSON and YAML.
Simple Thread in Windows using vb.NET
A thread in computer science is short for a thread of execution . Threads are a way for a program to fork (or split) itself into two or more simultaneously (or pseudo-simultaneously) running tasks . Threads and processes differ from one operating system to another but, in general, a thread is contained inside a process and different threads of the same process share some resources while different processes do not.
Ads rotation in php
A simple script that allows you to define three ads, and display them based on a specified ratio.
First, let's define each ads ratio. We want 70% for the first one, 20% for the second one, and 10% for the third one.
Thus, we have to declare a number number that varies between 1 and 100
// random number 1 - 100
$result_random=rand(1, 100);
check the result of result_random; if it's less of equal 70, show ad 1:

XMLHttpRequest, REST and the Rich User Experience
XMLHttpRequest, REST and the Rich User Experience
Over the last few years Javascript has come of age. Gone are the inconsistent
browser implementations, so not only is CSS mature enough to be used seriously,
but so is Javascript. And now with the major browsers all supporting the XMLHttpRequest
object, we can create a truely interactive interface to our web applications.
Ajax Tutorial for Beginners
In this tutorial we'll discuss the basic principles of remote scripting using
Ajax, a combination of javascript and XML to allow web pages to be updated with
new information from the server, without the user having to wait for a page
refresh. Ajax therefore allows us to build web applications with user
interfaces rather more like those of desktop applications, providing a better
experience for the user. Ajax tools are becoming increasingly popular,
and a list of ajax development projects is also given.
