This session will familiarize developers with the basic constructs of unit testing and the advantages of TDD.

6:30 p.m.: Secure Coding: Best Practices (Robert Hurlbut) Register
Security is important to nearly every company, but security can never be an add-on to an existing product. Developers need to be aware of common security threats, and they need to follow best practices for developing secure code. This presentation will introduce security topics such as checking data input, buffer overruns, Cross-Site Scripting, SQL injection, and the Rule of Least Privilege. The best techniques for secure coding will also be demonstrated.
I will also be providing a snapshot of my upcoming WIN-DEV 2004 topic: Writing Least Privileged Applications.
Update: The correct date for the next meeting is July 14, 2004.
