Mark Six Analyst

-
Open Source in the world of software is amazing. Developers share and distribute source codes with each other. SourceForge is one of the well-known platforms.

I have registered my first Open Source project in SourceForge. The project is called Mark Six Analyst at https://sourceforge.net/projects/marksixanalyst/. It is a simple tool to forecast the result of Hong Kong lottery or so-called Mark Six by various statistics methods.

For the success of the project, I would like to thank Java, JavaDB (Apache Derby), Java Swing, Java Persistence API, TopLink, Hibernate Entity Manager, NetBeans and CsvReader. Because of them, developing a software application becomes rapidly quicker and the developed application becomes more stable and much easily maintained. Especially for Java Persistence API or called JPA, developers are less annoyed to handle entity EJBs and Object-Relational Mapping. It is helpful for developing an application with a database of complicated entity relationships.

On the other hand, after running the application, I found that no statistics method did better forecast than just Random. It implies that there is no winning method in gambling. I wish that all gamblers would understand this meaning.

No matter whether you are IT and like playing Mark Six, please access the SF.NET project and share your opinions. Thanks.

Dear Giordano,

Sorry for late reply. Would you mind to give me your email address so that I can explain you in detail, please? Or I will put the instruction later to the SourceForge.net.

Yours sincerely,
Teki

Could you put on sourceforge so other many people can read them...
...however i'm trying to study javaEE to build my own wep-app about lottery prediction.
Thanks & Bye

Hi Johnny,

I'm sorry that the website which provided the CSV file has gone down. What you should do is to input the data manually.

Event: Developer Productivity Engineering: What's in it for me?

Manchester Java Community hosted another great session in Thoughtworks . The speaker is Trisha Gee , co-author of the renowned book Head First Java .  The speaker pointed out that the productivity of developers did not mainly come from individual developer themselves but from the organisation which offers productive environments or not. The factor includes work space size, quietness, privateness, any diversion or needless interruption. On technology side, productivity can be improved by consistency and reliability of builds. Very fast feedback can improve productivity and quality, thus increase revenue, reduce cost and improve brand. References: DEVELOPER PRODUCTIVITY ENGINEERING: WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?

Ethical Hacking 101

-
In today's digital landscape, software security is paramount. To safeguard applications from cyber attacks, developers must embrace Ethical Hacking—an innovative approach that empowers them to uncover vulnerabilities and strengthen security measures. Ethical Hacking involves adopting the mindset of malicious hackers to identify weaknesses and fortify defences against unauthorised access, data breaches, and other threats. By integrating this practice into the coding process, developers gain valuable insights, proactively mitigating risks and creating more robust and secure software systems.  I took a basic lesson from Snyk about Ethical Hacking, which helps me consider security measures in coding.   Process   Plan & Prepare ( Reconnaissance phase)   Scan & Enumerate   Exploit   Analyse & Report Communicate & Collaborate Continuous Education & Professional Development   Tools   Nmap : network scanner   Burp Suite : security testing of web applications   Metasploi
