Meeting: 7:00p -0500 Thu, 11 Mar 2010
FYI: You can VoIP in for the meeting.
The TriLUG custom opens each meeting with introductions and announcements. Announcements concern anything pertinent to the TriLUG community. Keep 'em brief though! (Under 30 seconds is the standing suggestion.)
No sponsors have stepped forward for this meeting.
Typically, TriLUG sponsors will cover pizza and drinks for the group for the evening, and thoroughly explain who they are and what they do. It's an excellent way to advertise your outfit to a very intelligent, diverse, technical, interested, and captive crowd.
If you would like to sponsor this month's meeting, contact anyone on the steering committee.
After our sponsor has had some time up front, we give the "podium" to those who have a job and who need a job. Be brief, concise, let the group know what's up, and good luck!
Security is important in any programming environment but programming for the web has some unique possibilities and hazards. Most web programmers have little to no training in security and lots of web development is done by people who don't wear a full-time developer hat. Add to this the fact that bad security on a web project can have very public and very embarassing consequences.
This talk will walk through the basics of web security without focussing too much on the particular language that you choose (but all examples will be in Perl and PHP). We'll also look at various attack vectors (SQL Injection, XSS, CSRF, and more) and see how you can avoid them. Whether you're an experienced web developer (we all need reminding) or just starting out, this talk can help avoid being the next easy harvest of The Bad Guys.
RedHat has kindly offered us a meeting room. When you walk into the building, you may be greeted by a RedHat employee at the front desk. We are in the room to your left. Welcome!
