Fall is a busy time of year but you’re going to want to put this dotNet Miami meeting on your calendar! We’re very excited to have Mark Satterfield this month to present on ‘Information Warfare and Your Responsibilities as a Software Developer’. As software developers we’re always under the gun to get our solutions out fast. But what happens when we overlook security. Mark will show us the dangers of overlooking it and some practical ways we can prevent hackers from gaining entry into our system. We’re also pleased to have Danny Alcantara who will give us an in-depth look at dependency injection. Danny will give a clear introduction to dependency injection and live demos on how to use it. This promises to be another great night of technical information you can use right now.
We will also be giving away more books, swag, and more one-month subscriptions to PluralSight.
Because we don’t want the fun to stop when the meeting is over we’ll be at Miller’s Ale House on Miracle Mile (101 Miracle Mile, Coral Gables) for food and networking. All are welcome.
Session and Speaker Details:
Information Warfare and Your Responsibilities as a Software Developer
So you fancy yourself a software developer. Great! Me too. But what is your take on hackers? Do you think you write hack safe code? Fact is, people are out there that want to get on your systems, get on your customer’s systems, get your data, or otherwise compromise the integrity of your technology. That’s all fine and dandy, but surely this can’t happen to my code, right? Well, wrong. If you are writing router software or Operating System software, you know the importance of creating safe, secure code. But how about a game programmer? Is it really necessary to put the extra effort in to make your code safe? You bet it is. Maybe your code is just the way the hacker gets on the system, looking for more gold at the end of the tunnel. We’ll talk more about this and examine even more questions you may have about hackers and protecting your code and your customers in this paper. Remember, the best security is built into the system, not bolted onto the system. Information Warfare and Your Responsibilities as a Software Developer – Introduction to understanding hackers and protecting your software against attack was created to promote awareness and motivate the software developer into further research. It is not exhaustive, and does not cover all potential vulnerabilities. It is only an overview of hacking, and a few common vulnerabilities that can be easily addressed by the software developer.
Mark Satterfield has been involved with technology since the 1970’s. He has a master’s degree in Computer Engineering with a broad hands-on experience base that includes business operations, software development, systems test and integration, manufacturing engineering, security engineering, and managing geographically distributed technical teams. He is a successful programs manager skilled at building complex solutions, and identifying and managing the cost, schedule, technical goals, and risks during all phases of the systems development life cycle.
Dependency Injection Explained – Beyond the Buzzword
Dependency Injection (DI), Inversion of Control, IOC containers, Dependency Inversion… huh? So many buzzwords so little time! Most of the time these are used interchangeably even when they shouldn’t be. This presentation will attempt to clarify some of these concepts and give the attendants an introductory level overview of DI. We’ll briefly discuss the types of DI, some of the supporting patterns and tools, as well as pros and cons.
Danny Alcantara is an independent software guy who recently moved to Miami from Minneapolis. He’s been building software systems for almost 15 years; primarily in Java and .Net. His client list includes companies in the education, manufacturing, health, banking and financial services industries. Over the past 10 years his focus has been primarily been building web applications and services using Microsoft and open source Technologies. Currently, Danny holds the record for the most bug free code written under the influence (of another developer of course), the most wins in Buzzword bingo during a planning meeting and a Masters in Software Engineering from the University Of Minnesota.
