August Meetup

The next meetup event is going to be at:

Building 2, 19 Grieve Close West Gosford
(Blink Mobile Interactive)

Tuesday 21st August
7pm

This month we have two presentations:

ASP.Net MVC - Validation
Presented By Shannon Marsh
This presenation will compare the "out-of-the-box" Data Annotations with a third-party library named Fluent Validation. It will cover both standard and custom validation techniques as well as unit testing.

Security – is anything safe? 
Presented By Robert Dyball
This presentation will cover many aspects of security, and include practical tips to help ensure your company’s reputation and data stay safe. Find out about SSL, threat modelling, pen testing, SQL injection, XSS - cross site scripting, hijacking sessions, socially engineered hacks and more. While this won’t be a complete guide to hacking, it helps to know how these hacks work to know where to look. 

also...

CoastNerds - 2 Years Young!
That's right.  This month we are celebrating 2 years of CoastNerds. Time flies when you are having fun (and learning from your peers).

We'll probably order in some pizza but we'll wait and see who turns up first.  If you want some pizza bring along some cash so you can chip in.

Hope to see you there.


PS. Remember if you would like to volunteer to give a presentation or talk please let us know.  We have quite a few 30 Day subscriptions to Pluralsight's online training to give to all our presenters.  Get them while they last!
