DevOps leaders seeking a one-size-fits-all cybersecurity framework to prevent supply chain attacks may find themselves disappointed, according to a recent research paper. The study, published on Cornell University’s arXiv site, highlights the difficulty in relying on a single framework to address the wide variety of security risks faced by development teams. The paper, authored by six researchers from North Carolina State University, Yahoo, and other institutions, offers a deeper dive into strategies that can help prevent compromises in critical applications and reduce the likelihood of future attacks. The researchers examined the techniques used in major compromises like SolarWinds Orion, log4J,…

Microsoft has rolled out the second preview of its upcoming .NET 10 developer platform, delivering a fresh round of improvements aimed at bolstering security, refining the runtime, and expanding C# language capabilities. Released on March 18, .NET 10 Preview 2 builds upon the foundation laid by the initial preview in February, with a full general availability release slated for November 2025. Developers can get hands-on with the preview by downloading it from the official .NET website. A key highlight of Preview 2 is its advancement in encryption flexibility. New ExportPkcs12 methods on X509Certificate2 now allow developers to specify the encryption…

As Java approaches its 30th anniversary, the programming world is taking a moment to reflect on the remarkable journey of a language that has withstood the test of time. At the JavaOne 2025 conference this week, held in Redwood Shores, California, former Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy joined Oracle executives in celebrating Java’s longevity and continued relevance. Despite the rising popularity of newer languages like Python and Rust, Java continues to be a backbone for enterprise and mission-critical systems worldwide. Scott McNealy, speaking during a keynote session, shared anecdotes from Java’s early days, highlighting its unexpected beginnings. He recounted how…

Designing robust and fault-tolerant APIs is a crucial part of modern web development, and one of the most effective ways to achieve this is by making your APIs idempotent. An idempotent operation is one that can be repeated any number of times with the same result. Think of it like pressing an elevator button: whether you press it once or ten times, the elevator will still make a single trip to the floor. The same principle should apply to your API endpoints—especially those that handle operations like creating resources or performing critical transactions. In ASP.NET Core, implementing idempotency means structuring…

Microsoft has announced a major architectural overhaul for TypeScript, moving away from its traditional setup and embracing a new, high-performance direction. Previously, the TypeScript compiler (tsc) was written in TypeScript itself, compiled to JavaScript, and executed within Node.js. That’s about to change. Microsoft is now transitioning to a native compiler for TypeScript, written in Go. This move marks a pivotal shift in how TypeScript will be compiled going forward, offering a significant performance leap, especially for large-scale projects. The performance improvements are striking. Microsoft shared that compiling the massive Visual Studio Code codebase—about 1.5 million lines—previously took around 78 seconds.…

A recent cascading supply chain attack has severely impacted GitHub Actions, putting tens of thousands of repositories at risk by exposing sensitive CI/CD secrets. The breach, which initially targeted the popular “tj-actions/changed-files” utility, has now been traced back to an earlier compromise of the “reviewdog/action-setup@v1” GitHub Action. This revelation has prompted concerns within the developer community about the vulnerabilities in the CI/CD ecosystem. Researchers discovered the malicious code injected into the tj-actions/changed-files utility, identified as CVE-2025-30066, just last week. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has since acknowledged the issue, highlighting the serious nature of the attack. The compromise…

For most of my computing life, I was a dedicated Windows user. My journey began with Windows 1.02 on my IBM PS/2 Model 25 in the late 1980s, and I was hooked from the start. I spent countless hours developing applications for Windows 3.1 using Turbo Pascal for Windows. The thrill of working with new technologies and being part of the early days of personal computing was unforgettable. I continued to stick with Windows through various versions, becoming particularly fond of Windows 7. Despite the misstep with Windows 8, I’ve remained a loyal user, and today, Windows 11 is my…

Oracle has recently offered a glimpse into the future of Java development with the announcement of five upcoming features slated for release in the near future. These features aim to introduce significant enhancements in how Java handles primitives, value types, and immutable data. The advancements are set to arrive in future versions of the Java Development Kit (JDK), with JDK 25, expected in September, being the main focus for some of these updates. These features are currently in the preview stage, with JDK Enhancement Proposals (JEPs) published for each one. Among the most notable features is enhanced primitive boxing, which…

Java Development Kit (JDK) 24 has officially been released, offering a wide array of enhancements and new features aimed at improving developer productivity, application performance, and security.
