In a previous post, I discussed what event-driven architecture (EDA) is and the common claims associated with it. Since EDA is not a common concept and has been around in the industry for over 20 years now (yes that's right!), it has accumulated a lot of claims associated with it and, over the years, some of these claims have been busted as myths or proven as facts.

Myths and Facts of Security Testing

Software security is extremely valuable to users, and even more to the companies.

We crossed many hurdles to reach where we are — a place where we are not just incorporating an agile approach in our projects but all in all our in-house processes.

The initial path was rough and we were faced with many misconceptions and myths. Over the years, we learned more about the process and along with it, we also embraced DevOps and Scrum. Today, when we see people still fearing Agile or failing at it or even more — mistaking Agile for Scrum and DevOps, we feel like we have to debunk all the myths.

Mythbusters: 5 Myths About How Java Is Getting Better

Java was originally design for interactive television, but it was too advanced of technology for the cable television industry at the time. The history of Java starts with a team called Green Team, who initiated this project to develop a language for digital devices, such as set-top boxes, televisions, etc. However, it was suited for Internet programming. Later, Java incorporated by Netscape.

The main reasons for creating Java were simple: we needed a language that was robust, portable, platform-independent, secure, high-performance, multithreaded, architecture-neutral, object-oriented, interpreted, and dynamic.
