“…The majority of vulnerabilities and flaws in software appear when developers ignore secure practices in programming. More details of secure programming/coding competences can be found in the works of Mano et al (2006); Miller & Heymann (2018) and Zainuddin & Normaziah (2011).…”

“…Previously, software security used to be an afterthought, but recently it is being addressed actively from the planning stage of software development. Additionally, in today's software development process, software testing includes security testing instead of only functional testing (Mano, Duhadway, & Striegel, 2006), thus making the security Towards a Security Competence of Software Developers:…”

Software growth has been explosive as people depend heavily on software on daily basis. Software development is a human-intensive effort, and developers' competence in software security is essential for secure software development. In addition, ubiquitous computing provides an added complexity to software security. Studies have treated security competences of software developers as a subsidiary of security engineers' competence instead of software engineers' competence, limiting the full knowledge of the security competences of software developers. This presents a crucial challenge for developers, educators, and users to maintain developers' competences in security. As a first step in pushing for the developers' security competence studies, this chapter utilises a literature review to identify the security competences of software developers. Thirteen security competences of software developers were identified and mapped to the common body of knowledge for information security professional framework. Lastly, the implications for, with, and without the competences are analysed and presented.

“…Much emphasis is placed on the role of imaginative and creative activities which can help children to make sense of their experiences and 'transform' their knowledge, fostering cognitive development ( (Rabah, 2005;Mano et al, 2006;Tomas & Castro, 2011). By creating colourful characters which children can interact with onscreen, the 'SmartFun' application aims to create a new learning environment through story-telling and animation.…”

The Northern Ireland pre-school curriculum promotes educational development through enabling learning environments and active learning through play and exploration. Enabling learning environments are rich in books, pictures, signs, symbols, rhymes, and multimedia technology. Through play and exploration, children are engaged in activities that interest and preoccupy them. The resources that are used as a context for play have an important bearing on the depth of learning experienced by a child. According to the Early Years Foundation Stage, from age 40 months, a child's literacy and numeracy can develop rapidly with the support of a wide range of interesting materials, activities, media, and technologies (Department for Education, 2008). The aim of this project is to create the “SmartFun” literacy and numeracy E-Learning application. “SmartFun” is a fun, engaging environment to promote the early learning of letters and numbers for pre-school and primary one children.

“…The primary goal of this course is to equip students with the skills, principles, and knowledge needed to develop secure software. While related courses have focused on defensive coding practices 7,8,9 , information assurance 10 , and software testing 11 , our course will have the added emphasis of software engineering practices such as requirements engineering, secure designs, maintenance, and assessment. The course will start as an upper-class elective seminar, but will be required for all undergraduate software engineering majors starting in fall 2012.…”
