The Complete Web Developer RoadMap, which outlines how you can become a Modern Web Developer everybody wants to hire. In that post, I have explained how you can learn everything about Programming and Web Development from scratch and with no coding experience. I have also shared my three-point formula to learn a new technology or framework, which I have used to determine many technologies in the past like Git, Data Structure and Algorithms, Hibernate, Kotlin, Docker, and Android to upgrade my technical skills. You can also use the same technique to become a Web developer this year. You should generally start with an excellent online course, which will help you understand the most critical part and gain some hands-on experience, like how to set up your development environment and build some simple applications. Once you understand fundamentals, you can read a book to get more comprehensive coverage of all the concepts covered in the online course and something that has not been covered.
After completing the book and online course, you should develop a real-world application to test your knowledge and fill gaps in your learning. I have recently shared a lot about excellent online courses to learn new technologies, frameworks, and libraries. Like in the last article, I have listed down some of the free Java courses. Today I'll list down the top 5 Web development courses from Udemy which I have bought and joined myself. Talking about web development, things have changed a lot in the last 5 to 10 years. Gone are the days when knowing just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript was enough. They are still essential but not enough; you also need to learn modern web development frameworks like React, Angular, Bootstrap, etc., to develop modern web applications. These frameworks have made web development more structured and organized. They also allow you to build from just a single-page web application to full-fledged, real-world web applications like Facebook, Airbnb, or Uber. If you are interested in learning cutting-edge technology like React JS, Spring Web-Flux, Redux, Bootstrap, then these web development courses are good to start with. You will get exposure to many client sides and server-side technology by going through these courses.
A hacker took control of a computer network at the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency in November. The day after Thanksgiving, reports Popular Mechanics, ticketing kiosks on the San Francisco light rail went offline as agency screens displayed, “You Hacked, ALL Data Encrypted. And it turns out the most surprising thing about this incident is that it hasn't happened before. It's hard to get precise numbers on cyberattacks, since they rely on disguising themselves, but available data for ransomware paints a grim picture. A June 2016 study by Osterman research and security firm Malwarebytes found that 47 percent of U.S. Among U.K. respondents, 12 percent had been hit at least six times. Globally, 37 percent of organizations paid. Of the more than 2.3 million users of Kaspersky Labs security products who encountered ransomware between April 2015 and March 2016, almost 87 percent were at home. No word on how many paid up, but with ransoms averaging a few hundred dollars, and ransomware proceeds estimated at $209 million for the first three months of 2016, it was probably quite a few.
” writes Andrew Howard, chief technology officer at Kudelski Security, in an email. Attacks are brilliantly simple: A computer user falls for a phishing email or stumbles on a corrupted web page, and a malicious piece of software downloads. It encrypts (or otherwise blocks access to) the computer's files, and the infection spreads from that computer to any other computer connected to it. The hacker announces him- or herself, provides a method of contact and promises the decryption key in exchange for payment, typically in a digital “cryptocurrency” like Bitcoin or MoneyPak, which is harder to trace than cash. The sheer volume of attacks is staggering. U.S. Homeland Security estimates an average of 4,000 per day in 2016, up 300 percent from the previous year. “Instead of having to steal data and sell it or rent out botnets to other cybercriminals, ransomware offers direct payment,” Opacki writes in an email.
