ASP.NET with C# Master Class — Paul Litwin
July 20-Aug. 2 (10 days), 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
In this hands-on class, you'll learn all you need to know to start building robust, scalable, data-driven ASP.NET Web applications using the C# .NET language. Students will learn how to create ASP.NET applications using either Visual Studio .NET or a text editor. Topics include: the .NET Framework, C#.NET Quick Start, Web forms, validation controls, data binding, ADO.NET, XML, Web services, Web service clients, Visual Studio, ASP.NET Web matrix, component development, N-Tier Design, concurrency, user controls, custom server controls, security, perform-ance configuration, best practices and caching. Limited to 15 students.

Life Made Easier with Regular Expressions — John Syre
Aug. 9
This will be an overview of how regular expressions can simplify tasks commonly encountered while programming and working with data. Almost all of us, at one time or another, have used regular expressions. For example, using a wild card in a file search to find all documents starting with October as in October*.doc. This overview will highlight advanced capabilities of using regular expressions to do Field Validation in .NET or parsing data in Perl or using a Regex in client side JavaScript. Why write hundreds of lines of code when a Regex will do it for you? Come see the power of Regular Expressions!

Hacked! Understanding and Preventing Malicious Input Attacks — Paul Litwin
Sept. 13
All the hardware and network security in the world won't help you if your Web sites are susceptible to malicious input attacks. In this brownbag seminar, Paul Litwin will demonstrate how hackers perpetrate malicious input attacks and how to prevent against these types of attacks using safe coding practices. You'll learn how SQL injection, cross-site scripting, eavesdropping, input tampering, and related attacks work, and more importantly, how to prevent them. While the demonstrated examples will employ ASP.NET, the concepts apply equally to other platforms, including ASP classic, PHP, and JSP.
