Timothy DiRusso * Single-Page Web Applications The two primary designs for web applications are single-page applications ( SPA ) and multi-page applications ( MPA ). With MPA , webpages are loaded the traditional way with requests going to the server hosting the site . However , with SPA , the webpage does not need to reload because the application works inside the browser . This research will explore SPA and its benefits .

Smart security systems , washing machines , baby monitors , locks , and lighting controls may be convenient but are vulnerable to attacks . Hackers can exploit these devices to gain entry , stalk , or steal from homeowners . This is particularly frightening when children are involved . This research project will examine smart technology vulnerabilities and how to mitigate them .
