As companies become more reliant on the Web, it is increasingly important to deliver applications using browsers that have the same functionality as rich clients. Programming applications by using HTML, cascading style sheets (CSS), and Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) on the front end and by using a Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (LAMP) stack on the back end helps to fill this gap.

The perimeter security that most organizations have in place is less effective at stopping threats as businesses open their networks to remote employees, customers, and partners. It's important to secure critical infrastructure servers against attack, whether they are important outward-facing machines such as web servers, or critical inward-facing machines such as database servers and application servers. This session describes how to use the various features of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) and Open Enterprise Server (OES) to secure your machines against attack. We'll describe configuring classical security features such as the IPTables firewall for Linux, including how to configure your firewall with YaST. We'll also describe Novell AppArmor.
Show systems administrators how to automate more processes on Linux using an easy‑to‑use programming environment. It demonstrates how to create applications for both admins and end users that wrap the command line in a graphical user interface. Learn how new Linux tools can augment shell scripts to create powerful productivity-enhancing applications. No prior programming knowledge is required.
