Mobile app security
by Benjamin Muraguri 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Something I've been mulling over for a while: for mobile app developers and users, how would I determine whether a mobile app communicates securely (using SSL for example)? How can I know whether sensitive data (e.g. login credentials) is stored by the app and if so, whether in encrypted form or plain text? Is there a way to prevent unintended transmission of data e.g. accessing contacts when not required? Or am I being paranoid? Ben

Hi skunks Firstly who is well versatile in postgreSQL? Secondly for those who have used both, what would recommend or how do both rate? ./TheMburu -- Conservatism is the adherence to the old tried against the new untried.

<O.T.> Exchange rates - which is better.

Quick one, I need to make a Euro purchase over paypal. Which offers the best exchange rate - paypal or my local bank (KCB in this case) - from your experience. I know I could call the bank and all, but I'm hoping to short-circuit the whole thing. Thanks. Mek.

Hi skunks, A client contacted for a simple one-page website and I came up with this skeleton site. <http://daiga-tech.herokuapp.com/> The client is okay with it and has requested I send them a quote for the site. Could you guide me on how much to charge for such work. This is my first sidejob and I don't want to undervalue or overvalue my work. The whole site both frontend and backend and plus site hosting (the whole stack) I have done my self.
