So for those that do not know, there is a great resource available to us called the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP).

From their web site:

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a worldwide free and open community focused on improving the security of application software. Our mission is to make application security "visible," so that people and organizations can make informed decisions about application security risks.

I just got home from my second presentation to the Twin Cities ColdFusion User Group. I had a great time, I thought the presentation went well. I got a lot of great questions and comments from the floor, and we even went out afterward.

Thanks again Troy from having me. I look forward to doing it again soon.

This Wednesday, the 6th, I will be presenting "Intro to Application Security (Part 1)" at the Twin Cities ColdFusion User Group meeting. I am really looking forward to it. Right now I am feverishly working on finishing my slides.

I just finished my presentation at the Twin Cities ColdFusion User Group and I think it went swimmingly. I presented "Application.cfm to Application.cfc". It was my first public ColdFusion presentation, but I think it went very well. I did not make any horribly embarrassing mistakes (I think) and no one threw anything at me. We had a pretty good turn out (about 30), and I think most people stayed until the end.

This Wednesday I will be speaking at the Twin Cities ColdFusion User Group meeting. I will be one of two speakers. Fred Anderson will be speaking as well.

I will be discussing "Converting Application.cfm to Application.cfc". I am a little nervous about it. This is my first public ColdFusion presentation, and there are going to be a lot of really smart and experienced people there. My presentation is based on a combination of experience and research, I am sure I will miss something important or get something just plain wrong.

My presentation is mostly directed at new ColdFusion developers and those who are still using Application.cfm. There are many, many good reasons to switch to Application.cfc.

The topics of the presentation are:

• The differences between Application.cfm and Application.cfc
• Problems with using Application.cfm
• Application.cfc properties and methods
• Converting an Application.cfm to Application.cfc example
• When and how to use some of the methods(We won't have time for all)

So please, come if you can. You should RSVP on the main TCCFUG page if you want to participate in the pizza before hand.
