SSL vs SSH
Developers should learn SSL/TLS to implement secure data transmission in applications, such as web servers, APIs, and email services, protecting sensitive information like passwords and payment details from eavesdropping and tampering meets developers should learn ssh for securely accessing and managing remote servers, such as cloud instances, virtual machines, or production environments. Here's our take.
