狼八式
寫作與思考
by 鍾偉民
Editor: 皇冠出版社
ISBN-13: 9789882160828

Review:
鬼才鍾偉民出筆真是非同凡響。有別一筆文學評論，書中內容一貫幽默惹笑，直接了當，一針見血道出寫作的基本常識。雖然作者所言的不是什麼天大秘技，或是驚世絕學，但是反而是寫作最根根本本的技法與心態。當下的中文教育，既摒棄經典範文，又引入非人性的所謂中文教學，違悖邏輯思考與藝術的真善美。這本小品對現今中文教育確是當頭捧喝！

讀畢此書，可延伸閱讀如筆者所提及李天命的思考藝術與陳雲的中文解毒。

如樓上［瞟客 Ivan］所言，文筆那麼精煉的作家不再於香港投刊未免可惜。

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

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 ot
