Background

Did some research on on this. Capturing the findings.

Findings

• Do not use DES, or 3DES. Use AES.
• Use AES/CBC/PKCS7Padding at least.
• Use AES/CFB/PKCS5Padding to generate different cipher for the same plain-text.
• Use AES/GCM/NoPadding for most secure stuff.

Prelude

This note captures learning from this course - Leading Productive One-on-One Meetings with Dave Crenshaw.

Introduction

One-on-One meetings are more commonplace in today’s world. As a manager, it helps build trust between you and your direct reports. One-on-Ones are also useful for clients, peers, etc.

To call out a difference, One-on-One meetings differ from group meetings.

Motivation

As part of my study of Analytics, I realize that SEO and SEM are relevant topics. This blog captures some of the learning.

Notes

What I learned from here:

• Organic Traffic: When search engines route traffic to your website without you spending any money.
• Paid Traffic: When search engines route traffic to your website when you spend some money to do so.

Motivation

I found Anlytics is present everywhere in systems I work. That lead me to think deep about the whole topic. I am taking the opportunity to do a focused learning about Analytics.

The goals are:

• High level concepts of Analytics
• Types of Analytics and their usage
• Techniques
• Tools - Identify some basic tools and methods you could learn
• Web-based Analytics - Google, Adobe, etc.

Background

I am working on refactoring an existing PHP project to use a web-framework. As part of the project, I needed some data in my local MySQL instance. This led to me learnginb about the export/import operations.

Approach: Use CLI.
