Is Your AJAX App Secure?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the something-to-think-about dept.

Security with AJAX is of course an important consideration as it's asychronous and a malicious user could write data back to your database if implemented incorrectly."

    I am growing sick of hype surrounding the AJAX bandwagon. It reminds me of the mid 1990's when the advent of Java had folks proclaiming how web based applications would be the preferred way of creating new applications across the board. Yeah, right. In short, web based apps have their purpose and can be effective. But they aren't the savior to mankind and the AJAX delivery method has been around for years now. We didn't use crudely fashioned stone tools then either.

    And no, I'm not a hater. I personally count Ruby amongst my programming languages of choice and I have written a couple of Rails applications that my company currently has in production. But the AJAX hype is getting tired.
