Understanding
Web Application Threats & Vulnerabilities -
see schedule
for class times
The issue of security should never be an
after-thought; it should be considered right from the time of initial
design. The motivations for security attacks can range simply from satisfying
the personal ego of a would-be hacker to stealing corporate assets or
monetary gains. Knowing the locations and types of system vulnerabilities
is essential to properly protecting your applications. This session is laced with hands-on demos and
will take you through the types of threats and the 5 most common attacks
known on the Internet to-date:
DoS (Denial of Services)
SQL injection
Cross-site scripting
Site hijacking
Input-tampering attacks
If you are not familiar with any or
all of these threats, this quick, inexpensive course will be a great asset
to you and your company.
In addition, two separate methods of documenting and modeling your current
threat exposure will be covered. These techniques will help you properly
identify and organize your mitigation priorities.
The techniques shown in this session are applicable
to all web development projects regardless platform and languages.
Code examples for this talk will be provided

XML
Development in .NET Framework -
see schedule
for class times
The World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C)
XML technology is a powerful tool in building distributed applications.
Microsoft’s .NET Framework embraces XML and uses it in everything
from configuration files to XML Web Services. As a .NET developer, it
is important to become familiar with how .NET exposes functionality to
work with XML Data. This session will be laden with demos showing how
to read, write, validate, and manipulate XML data using the .NET classes.
It will show you how to build Windows applications that work with XML
data, build XML Web Services, and import and export XML data in Microsoft
SQL Server.
Intended Audience:
This session is targeted at experienced developers looking to familiarize themselves with the .NET Framework as well as developing applications using the new C# language. Working experience in 4GL languages such as Delphi , C, C++, Visual Basic, or Java is a must. Experience in working with Client/Server technologies will be beneficial.
Another key distinction of this course is that the material will be taught in an IDE agnostic manner. The students will have choice to implement the exercise solutions in either Microsoft VisualStudio.NET, Borland C#Builder or SharpDevelop (http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Download/ ).

Delphi™ Certification Prep - Part 1 & 2-
see schedule for class
times
The Certification program was introduced to provide both developers and
employers with a measurable standard on an individual's knowledge of Delphi.
This course does not replace training or actual hands-on experience. You
are not guaranteed to pass the test if this session is your sole source
of information, nor should you. On the other hand, Delphi is such a broad
product that it is virtually impossible to be an expert in every area
of the tool. Many people with significant Delphi experience have never
explored some of the areas that are covered by the test. If you are one
of these people, then this session is for you. This eSeminar will cover
tips, tricks, and traps that you won't find in the online manual or popular
Delphi books. Those who have attended this talk at past Borland Conferences
have expressed a significant increase in confidence towards passing the
certification exam.
Intended
Audience:
Developers that are already experienced
with Delphi, and who wish to prepare for the certification exam.
