ASP.NET 2.0 Security Practice Set out today.
Posted by David MeaneyToday we released our ASP.NET 2.0 Security using Visual C# Practice Set. This is a particularly important release for us and is the most eagerly awaited Practice Set we?ve published, both because writing secure Web applications is an incredibly important topic, and because it?s our first VS 2005 release. Amongst the topics covered are Web application attacks, log-in controls, authorisation and roles, and securing & monitoring ASP.NET apps. You?ll be able to get full information (and purchase it!) in the next few days from out Web site catalogue. And we’ll be following up with a VB.NET version soon.
I must thank the team of developers and writers for all their work ? we?re breaking new ground both by covering a new topic and by releasing the new .NET 2.0 testing framework. And we?re continuing to challenge the traditional idea of how a learning system should work ? in this we?re achieving one of the most important things that we set out to do.
Last week we pre-released the Practice Set to our internal staff and a limited number of external users with whom we?ve developed close relationships. This is a new step that is very worthwhile, and I hope always to be able to do it in the future. There was a flurry of excitement from the sales crew when they thought we?d released fully nearly a week early ? I guess we need to work on the internal communication a bit!
