OWASP Top 10 AND Using Firebase to build software that scales

What's new in the OWASP Top 10, with Jim Burger

OWASP recently updated their top 10 web application development recommendations. I'll walk through some of the new items in the Top 10, and discussing their implications and ways to address them.

Use Firebase to quickly build useful software that can scale, with Darren Neimke

Firebase is an easy to use set of technologies that help us rapidly build and deploy applications. It follows a reactive approach, using Observables to supply realtime updates whenever data changes. In this talk, Darren takes us through the Firebase ecosystem, and explains how it can be used to build an Angular web application. Throughout the talk we will learn about the Firebase NoSQL data stores, how to implement security, and we will deploy an application using the Firebase CLI tooling.

About Jim

I've been in IT, on and off, in various capacities since the late 90's. My professional development experience started in '04 on the .NET framework (version 1). I've since worked mainly in the finance sector, both as a developer, a team leader and engineering manager. For the last 18 months or so, I've been focused on PCI compliant application development and testing as a development lead at Certegy Ezipay.

In my spare time I enjoy learning about various reverse engineering techniques and practices, and blogging about security issues. I'm also a bit of a muso.
