5 Reasons Why API Security and Engineering Teams Must Work Together
By: Tim Schreyer
The popularity of cloud-based computing has made API security the next big challenge for software engineers.
Hackers are becoming more creative, and the strategies to protect against them are becoming more complicated. Security must be implemented at the code level during API development, but this places a burden on software engineers. It can delay production and prevent the implementation of desired features.
Designing for security can make it difficult for software engineers to be productive. Software engineers need help.
Security Observability: Why Tracing?
By: Tim Schreyer
Detecting a cyber attack can take more than 200 days. During this time, attackers might be exploiting your system while you are completely unaware. Cyber attacks can cost your organization as much as $13 million per year.
What if we could reduce the time to detect a cyber attack all the way down to zero? What if we could detect security vulnerabilities before an attack even occurred?
Security observability is critical to achieving these goals. Let’s take a look at how it can help defend your business from cyber security threats.
Recursive Programming in C#: Yes, it’s Useful!
By: Tim Schreyer
“Seriously, will I ever need recursion?”
I saw that question in a discussion group, and I’ve seen many similar questions in other groups.
Most college textbooks explain recursion by showing an n-factorial method as an example. To tell the truth, n-factorial is a pretty boring example, and works much better if you would just use simple iteration rather than recursion.
So let’s take a look at an example that really does work better when you use recursion…

Technical Writing: pbnArtist User’s Manual
I am also a computer programmer, and I have written a program called pbnArtist that converts photographs to paint-by-number pictures. This is the user’s manual I wrote for that software.

Software Development: pbnArtist Paint-By-Number Software
I am also a computer programmer. This program, pbnArtist, is written in C#. It converts photographs into paint-by-number and counted-cross-stitch projects. I am the owner and sole-author of this program.

Las Vegas Custom Cakes Website
This website is for a company in Las Vegas that sells very artistic, custom cakes for weddings and other occasions. It regularly ranked in the top 5 positions on Google for the keywords “wedding cake las vegas”, “birthday cake las vegas”, and other cake types during the 4 years that I was its web manager. …

Amazon Listings
These are two listings I wrote for products selling on Amazon.
The first product is a computer program I wrote, called pbnArtist, that converts photographs into paint-by-number and counted-cross-stitch patterns.
The second product is a set of acrylic art paints meant to accompany the pbnArtist software.

Facebook Ads
Here are three partial page ads.
The first two of these are ads that I wrote for Facebook. The third one is a spec assignment (not a real product) suitable for an email newsletter, that I wrote for an AWAI B2B copywriting class.
