Securing your mobile app matters - why and how

After last month's great Git presentation it was hard to come up with a topic to match it.

This time we are going to focus on an important consideration for any developer who is writing a mobile app and is handling data. It's often easy to lose sight of the value of data when developers are knee deep in their next killer app, but by taking into account a few key security principles a developer can produce better, more secure code.

This won't be the be all end all for secure coding but we're hoping to give developers a few things to think about.

Be there, be security aware!

Agenda:

6:30 - Doors open
