Isn't PHP notoriously insecure?

Thank you both! This explains things a little better!

Hello, Beginner here so take it easy. I am building a basic hybrid-platform app using Smartface (a similar platform to Phongap). For purposes of this discussion, the app will do something very basic: you click the start button and it will start counting down from 30 minutes to 0, and when you...

Start by going through Khan Academy's physics videos

thanks elkement! I agree that some of the Cisco offerings are to create marketing buzz. The problem is that as a network engineer you end up doing a lot of router/switch/firewall configuration, so yes you become very good at knowing your Cisco commands, but how relevant is that when you try to...

Hello, I need some advice regarding my plan to apply for a masters in EE. I have a BS in physics, and I have been in the workforce for about 5-6 years now. I work in the IT field, with a focus on networking, security, LAN/WAN, etc. I have been offered an exciting opportunity of becoming...

Hello guys, I am a little intrigued with TI's (Texas Instrument) line of products, especially the Bluetooth Low Energy chips that they have. I am working on a project (personal, not school) and all I need to do is program a TI CC2540 or CC2541 to control a basic DC motor (eventually, from an...

evanatch, Do yourself a favor, and go the engineering route. To answer your questions: 1. zero impact on the fields you mentioned 2. The field is pretty interdisciplinary. Mainly between physics and EE. 3. If you are worried about getting stuck as a postdoc or concerned about employment...

aiq25, I am sorry about the struggles that you are going through. I can only image how hard this must be, I am a stutterer myself. My advice is: you will have to do something about your stuttering, because no matter where you go or what job you will do, you cannot avoid speaking to people...

At 31, you don't have to worry about age discrimination. If you're in your late 50's, that's a different story...

After getting my physics BS, I went into the IT field. Started low but about 2-3 years later (and lots of self learning) I hit the 60k mark. I am now making more than most physics profs at my (small) public alma mater. The benefit is if you're tenured and been there for a while, you'll make...

Python, Matlab and LabView Also Linux/unix

Good point. Just a quick FYI, it is more like 3 hrs for the Boston Marathon ;) Anyone can finish a marathon in 4 hours!

Thanks for this thread and all the valuable information that it contains. I think this is a fascinating field, and I love the fact that it will have very useful and in-demand applications. I have done a lot of research on this topic and I concur that this is a good inter-disciplinary field...

Hello, I have been in the IT industry for a few years, and I have been gaining decent skills in networking, general IT, server administration, etc. I eventually plan on going back to physics and/or engineering, so I was wondering if someone has any ideas on what skills are valuable in a...
