Using arrays to store a collection of variables, even objects, if very beneficial. However, it does have some limitations given that arrays are of a fixed size, and cannot shrink or grow with use. This means you either run out of space after a set of time, or you waste a lot of space as…
Security requirements are nonfunctional requirements that strongly influence the architectural design of software systems. Security requirements and other requirements can conflict with one another. A common example is that security and usability are often at odds with one another, and a balance between the two must be found. Therefore you have to determine how secure do you…
With today’s interconnected apps, security and privacy is on the forefront of people’s minds, especially with several noticeable breaches. “Relying on the government to protect your privacy is like asking a peeping tom to install your window blinds.” John Perry Barlow However, security and privacy have to be weighed both with and against the need…

Software security is an aspect of software quality assurance. Security concerns must be considered at the beginning…
Not only can you use templates for a primitive data type within functions, but also within classes. Consider the following example: The methods are similar to a non-template class, however, each method is a template itself, so you have to adjust a few things. For example, you have to specify template<typename T> before each method….
Templates are like a way to simplify making overloaded functions, by allowing for a function with generic data types to be written, to have the compiler change at compile time. The Generic Version of this would look like: Think of something like where you want to determine the max value of two variables. Well, you…
In addition to the standard tags that you often find people using, there are several optional tags which can be used to help organize the data. Browsers and/or libraries will sometimes use these additional tags to help organize your information and make it more user accessible, especially when dealing with large amounts of information. <thead>…
A table actually isn’t a single tag, but is made up of several tags working together. Some of these tags are required, however, most are optional. Now tables are a bit unique because of the number of optional tags you can define, and how that will help you design and improve the usability of the…
