WCAG 2.0: The new W3C accessibility guidelines evaluated
The second version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is in final working draft and will soon be officially released. Version 1 of the guidelines came under much criticism for being vague, full of jargon and extremely difficult to use. The W3C has been working on version 2.0 of the guidelines for over 5 years now, but has it been worth the wait?

Are AJAX Applications Vulnerable to Hack Attacks?
This paper reviews AJAX technologies with specific reference to JavaScript and briefly documents the kinds of vulnerability classes that should raise security concerns among developers, website owners and the respective visitors. The proposed solution suggests auditing AJAX and JavaScript based applications with a web vulnerability scanner that not only parses the HTML code of a webpage to identify embedded JavaScript, but also executes the code. Automating the process is also key when considering the increasing complexity of such web applications.

A glance at Virtual Machine Monitor
We are going on a short trip in the virtualization's technique world. Virtualization has become an important tool in computer system design, and virtual machines are used in a number of sub-disciplines ranging from operating systems to programming languages to processor architectures. By freeing developers and users from traditional interface and resource constraints, virtual machines enhance software interoperability, system impregnability, and platform versatility. The primary motivation for using a virtual machine is that it decouples the design of computer software from the evolution and diversity of computer hardware and operating systems.

Transferring files and monitoring Bluetooth ports in C#
Sometimes there are problems transferring data between two Bluetooth devices. We can't transfer some type of files, we can't discover the data transfer service (protocols) , for example the OBEX or FTP protocol, which is above the RFCOMM layer of the Bluetooth protocol stack. But the devices can communicate on the lower RFCOMM layer. If we have control over two devices, for example PC or Pocket PC, we can create C# programs for file transfer. We will show you, how to transfer files with Bluetooth technology without the use of additional software and how to monitor the serial port bytes traffic in C#. You can reuse the code in this article to create your application to transfer data also in environment when you can't do that with standard Bluetooth application.

CSS and round corners: Boxes with curves
One of the main reasons for having to use images on any web page is to create curves and round corners. It's currently impossible to create any kind of curved shapes using just HTML, so images need to be used. Putting these images into the HTML document with a table layout can create a large amount of superfluous code.

Metapatterns: A New Approach To Design Patterns
MetaPatterns can be contemplated like a form of understanding the underlying mechanisms of patterns and the form in which they work, and even as a new classification of patterns patterns.
The principal objective of patterns is capturing good practices that allow us to improve the quality of the design of systems, determining objects that support useful roles in a specific context, encapsulating complexity, and making it more flexible.
We can observe that the structure of these solutions (patterns) repeats, using a series of basic mechanisms (even in different levels of abstraction) to produce the same effects in the system. To know these common mechanisms allows us to have a clearer vision on patterns, as well as to have the capacity to generate them.
