The Enigma cipher machine allowed Germany the most secure communications in the world. Learn how the Enigma worked, how it evolved during World War II, and a few of the methods that allowed the code to be cracked.

We will take a look at the history of cryptography from the time of Herodotus in the 5th century BCE through the advent of mechanical rotor machines in the early 20th century. Hands-on exercises will be provided to hone your code breaking skills.

This talk will cover how requests get processed, how responses are generated, and some popular libraries that do the heavy lifting.

Backbone.js tries to help you not make a gigantic mess out of your Javascript, but it's up to you to make it clean. In Part 3, find out about approaches to TDD'ing your Backbone-based Javascript and patterns for structuring your code that can make working with Javascript (a little) less frustrating.

Learn about the components and approach of Backbone.js, and how to use Backbone to give structure to a Javascript application.
