News from Microsoft Ireland's Developer & Platform Group
With all the events that are coming up on new technologies Silverlight and Visual Studio 2008 - it's important to remember not to neglect the old basics - like security.
There are two free security training sessions coming up in early October which I would recommend attending. Brian Honan, who recently organised Ireland's Global Security week events will also be speaking at both events to give an overview of the changing threat landscape that is influencing our security policies and processes today.
