Cache Control - What is Caching

Caching on the web is similar in that it avoids a roundtrip to the origin web server each time a resource is requested and instead retrieves the file from a local computer's browser cache or a proxy cache closer to the user. An article by Port80 Software.

Preventing Page Review after Logout with Forms Authentication: ASPAlliance

The inclusion of Forms Authentication in the .NET Framework has been a significant benefit to developers securing web-based applications. While pages can be secured server-side, local caching by browsers and proxy servers may allow a user to review information even after they have logged out. In some cases, this may present a risk to the user's confidential information. This article discusses three HTTP headers that can be used to prevent local caching of web pages, adding some protection to the user's data.

Macworld: Feature: Battle of the Browsers

For most Mac OS X users, the gateway to the Web is Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE), which -- not coincidentally -- is the only non-Apple icon in the Dock. Netscape, once IE's only major competitor, is still around, but now other developers are bringing their browsers to OS X. By working hard to avoid the feature bloat and unpredictable display problems of earlier browsers, the makers of these alternative applications are redefining how we access the Web. If you want to speed up your browsing, or if you're just curious about what else is out there, we'll help you explore the possibilities.

Accelerate your Java apps!

There are two basic types of benchmarking: benchmarking to discover relative speeds or bottlenecks; and benchmarking to understand performance characteristics and thus where to expect bottlenecks. This article provides benchmarks for the second purpose, and it measures and interprets the cost of various common language operations on different hardware platforms. This information can help you look for performance bottlenecks and avoid accidentally building bottlenecks into your applications. It also helps you avoid the sin of premature optimization: if a simple, clean algorithm is expected to run fast enough, wait to optimize until after the need is clear. (3,200 words) Note: The Arrays section of this article was updated 9/3/98 to correct some benchmark numbers, which were flawed due to a bug in the benchmark code, which produced inaccurate results. The significant updated portion appears in bold below.
