I had hoped to get these up sooner, but with travel snafus, work obligations, and sick children, time has slipped away.
Anyway, I am finally posting my notes and slides. I hope to be able to put up some narration for it in the near future. We'll see if that happens.
Anyway, here is the SlideSix embedded version.
Here is some info that you need to know about CFinNC. This conference is going to be fantastic.
In order to keep the event free we have removed some hard costs and some benefits you normally get from paid-registration events.
Please be aware of the following:
The awesome folks at CFinNC have notified me that they selected one of my topics for their conference in the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina. I am very excited to have been selected and to visit a new state. I have never been to North Carolina, so that will be a great experience to. Not to mention getting to see old friends and make new ones. Here is the topic description:
As may of you know, OWASP is a great resource. And once again OWASP is coming through with some great, free content to help us learn more about Application Security. So if you live in the Mpls/St. Paul area, or are going to be in town, consider checking out this conference. The highlight of the show is that Bruce Schneier will be speaking along with Kuai Hinojosa, Seth Peter, and Pravir Chandra
Earlier this week I found out that I have been nominated for an Adobe Community Achievement Awards (formerly CFEmmy). This is very exciting form me. Not only does it mean that at least one person has liked my blog, but it also means that I have accomplished a personal goal.
When I first started blogging, one of my goals was to be nominated for a CFEmmy. It certainly was not the primary goal. I would have started blogging anyway. But I wanted to produce something of quality that is helpful to others. I hope I have accomplished that.
If, like me, you were unable to attend the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) AppSec Conference in Krakow, Poland last month, you can now view the videos from the conference online.
Last year, after attending cf.Objective(), I became really excited about blogging and learning more, and presenting something at cf.Objective() 2009 because a personal goal. I even added it to my list of goals for 2009 on my annual review at work. Now it looks like I will achieve that goal. Sweet.
I had a great time last Wednesday speaking at the Minnesota Government Information Technology Symposium in St. Paul. I'm really glad they gave me the opportunity to speak about Application Security. I was very pleased with the turn out. I believe I had about 70-75 people in attendance.
My presentation ran about 2 hours. We covered a wide range of basic security topics:
For those that missed it, I am attaching my slides to this post.
I want to thank the organizers of the event for putting this on and allowing me to speak. I got a lot out of the symposium and enjoyed most of the presentations I attended. It also helped open my eyes, more, to a problem that I think is being overlooked in much of web development world. Accessibility. You can expect some more blog posts from me in the future about accessibility.
