Alpha Anywhere has all the tools needed to build
HIPAA, GDPR, PCI compliant Software
Lee Vasic has been developing secure applications for companies that interface with Banking, DOD, and Medicare.
You started your career developing banking software. How did that influence your security mindset?
I worked in the banking industry years ago in Los Angeles, California. At that time, Los Angeles was the bank robbing capital of the world. Friday afternoon was the most popular time for the banks to be robbed. Smart banks would double the guards. Others, with clueless branch managers, would limit the guard’s hours and would get robbed several times. It’s time for us as developers to double the guards.
What happened to security when file servers started to replace mainframes?
The mainframe was built with a foundation of security. It would sometimes take a week for a new employee to get an account to log in. The room where the mainframe was located was also secure with two-door authentication. You also needed two different key cards to get in the room plus someone had to buzz you in. When the servers started to appear, they would just be put in an unlocked closet. I remember at the time that file security was obfuscation. They didn’t tell anybody the names of the directories. They seemed to be surprised when they got hacked. (How did they find my files?)
Exploiting the Chrome debugger to help Alpha Anywhere developer to visually enhance user experience
By Doron Farber - February 21, 2022
...
We wanted to gray out some buttons when we need to disable them based on some conditions. This way the user gets the idea that these buttons are disabled. In a way, it is a user-friendly user interface. The user gets the visual understanding that these buttons are disabled, and they will not try to click and then realized that nothing happens.
If you use the Disable/Enable property in the UX component, the colors of the buttons will stay the same. The solution for that is quite simple. We need to find the actual inner HTML code for these buttons. For that purpose, we need to go into the Chrome debugger and see the actual HTML code for each button.

Forrester Wave™: Mobile Low-Code Development Platforms, Q1 2017
By
Steve Wood - November 15, 2021
I would like to suggest that all software developers study the following article by Forrester titled The Forrester Wave™: Mobile Low-Code Development Platforms, Q1 2017.
Alpha Anywhere is listed as one of the top eleven Moble Low-Code Development Platforms. But that is not why I think you should study the article. Take a look at the first few pages where they analyze what kinds of applications are most popular and why companies are seeking applications built using a Low-Code Platform. It goes on to describe the type of developer that will adopt such a platform and what our strategy might be to grow our businesses.
Then, of course, go back and read how the various Low-Code Platform vendors stack up. It is important to understand the strengths and weaknesses of whatever platform you might be using.Custom Software Development 10 steps to engage with the client
