JavaScript from ES5 to ESNext
The author wrote this open book to help you move from pre-ES6 knowledge of JavaScript and get you quickly up to speed with the most recent advancements of the language. JavaScript today is in the privileged position to be the only language that can run natively in the browser, and is highly integrated and optimized for that. The future of JavaScript is going to be brilliant. Keeping up with the changes shouldn't be harder than it already is, and my goal here is to give you a quick yet comprehensive overview of the new stuff available to us. ...

Protecting SQL Server Data
In Protecting SQL Server Data, John Magnabosco demonstrates how sensitive data, stored in SQL Server, can be protected using an efficient and maintainable encryption-based data architecture. He explains how to assess and categorize data elements according to sensitivity, regulate access to the various categories of data using database roles, views and stored procedures, and then how to implement a secure data architecture using features such as cell-level encryption, transparent data encryption, one-way encryption, obfuscation, and more. The battle to secure personal and business data is a tough one, and the consequences of mishandling sensitive data can be severe. Even more damaging than the fines and lawsuits that can be result from non-compliance with regulations, is the loss of customer confidence that results when these breaches of security occur. Database Administrators must use every weapon and strategy at their disposal in the "war" to protect their sensitive data from ...
