Identity Theft – Developers are Key

Identity theft is perhaps the most concerning kind of Cybercrime nowadays. The most concerning aspect of identity theft is that once you are a victim it is hard to get rid of the consequences. Although as developers we are probably well aware of the risks towards cybercrime and identity theft in particular, in many parts we as developers play a big role in making identity theft happen. It is not only about how secure is your program, but how aware are you? Or better said how naive are we in practice as developers in this big bad world.

Java 8: The Good; The Bad and The Ugly

Java 8 has been there for a while but still not everybody is using it. It brought us some 'life changing' new code constructions. Now it is time to look back and evaluate wat java 8 brought us in practice. With great syntax possibilities you can still write utterly ugly code.What is a good way to use Java 8 syntax? How functional is Java 8 really and is Optional the life saver some people promised it to be?
