THE Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), Kerala Section, is organising a lecture series on `Frontiers in computing'.
Mr Unni Sankar, Secretary, IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Kerala Section, said here that the first part of the series, to be inaugurated at 10.30 a.m. on Saturday, will involve two lectures.
The first one on `Programming in Python' will be delivered by Dr Venkatesh Chopella, faculty, Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management-Kerala (IIITM-K). Mr Satish Babu, Vice-President, InApp Information Technologies, will deliver the second lecture, on `Application Security'.
The lectures will be held at the amphitheatre at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) at Vellayambalam here, and wind up at 4.30 p.m.
According to Mr Sankar, Python has gained prominence as a simple, elegant, flexible and powerful multi-paradigm programming language that straddles the boundaries of scripting languages and traditional programming languages.
Borrowing features from programming languages in the structured programming stream and the lateral stream of functional programming, Python is claimed to be more productive than languages such as Java. It is also rich in GUI toolkits and web programming frameworks.
Security has now become one of the concerns for software developers, users and organisations that deploy applications.
This is especially so given the higher level of threat perception to applications compared with network and transport security, which were thetarget of attacks before. Such is the concern that application firewall appliances have made their presence felt in the market.
