Hello Secure World

First, welcome to my new blog on the www.asp.net site.  It was set up for me by Microsoft's Joe Stagner.

So what's with Hello Secure World?  Well this week MSDN Events brought their roadshow here to Raleigh, NC.  I have attended these MSDN events in the past but haven't made it to one in over a year.  They usually are packed with an insight to the latest and greatest developer topics but I must admit, this one was a little stale.  Content ranged from ASP.NET security (wasn't that a big MSDN event back in 2004) to ASP.NET 2.0 Application Services.  Yeah I picked up a few tidbits of info but we are in the ASP.NET 3.5 world now, aren't we?

 The best thing I got out of the event was a link to Microsoft's Hello Secure World web site.  It's packed with info on how to secure your applications.  There are video tutorials, code samples, the works.  Everything you need to get started on putting up a defense for XSS, SQL Injection, one-click attacks, and more are right there.  The next best thing I walked away with was a Hello Secure World t-shirt.  Now I'll never forget that URL!
