Architecting Secure and Reliable Enterprise Applications
This week, Cliff Berg is doing a promotion of his latest book entitled High-Assurance Design : Architecting Secure and Reliable Enterprise Applications. I'm sure you've encountered this yourself, but on many projects there's often a disconnect between the development team that build the software and the security experts that reside elsewhere in the organisation. I've certainly seen this happen and due to the different skillsets involved, it's hard to get these two groups of people talking the same language. As a result, security is often inadequately implemented and reliability ... well that sometimes doesn't even feature.
If this sounds familiar then Cliff's book might be for you. Stop by the OO, Patterns, UML and Refactoring at the JavaRanch Saloon to see the discussion and have the chance to win a copy.
