No More Excuses! Coding Securely in ASP.NET

I'm a developer.  I know the excuses:  we don't have the time, the budget, the resources;
security isn't baked into our process; we add it to the end so it often gets cut; security is hard.
Waa waa waa.  Enough excuses!  Greg will show you how to code securely and help you understand
that you can no longer afford excuses.  If you can stop just the two most prevalent attacks,
 you will be far ahead of everyone else and well on your way to protecting your customers'
data and your organization's money and reputation.  Stopping the attacks is easy...really.
Come see for yourself!


Greg Howe, MCAD, is co-leader of the BAND (Bangor Area .NET Developers) in Bangor, ME.
He is employed by Lighthouse Web Solutions as a web software developer and is certified

groups, CodeCamps and GiveCamps, and provides services for code review and speaking to
