Secure your ASP.NET WebApi and MVC applications
Everyday we read or hear about some new security exploit. A hacker was able to gain access to a system and downloaded millions of credit cards. Or, a hacker was able to inject code into a website and download viruses onto users computers. 100% security is not possible, but how can we make it very difficult for someone to get in?

Learn how to use the functionality provided by web browsers such as IE, Chrome, and Firefox and the .NET framework to increase the security of your site in almost no time at all. In addition, this session will also cover how to extend out security tools provided in the ASP.NET core library to write your own custom rules to secure your data.

Uptown Func Delegates for Everyday Development
Do delegates seem too cryptic and complicated for everyday development? Are you confused every time you see a Lambda expression in code? They don't have to be so mysterious, because .NET brings you a plethora of built-in functionality and C# makes them easy to use. In this session we'll Func<U> up until you've got a handle on how delegates work. We'll explore how, why, and when you should use delegates in your code. You will see examples of practical applications for everyday development use and how delegates and Lambdas bring you closer to mastery of Linq.

Cooking with GAAS, Globalization as a Service
What would a non-English-speaking user say about your product? What are the challenges that present themselves when you want to take your product global? Product team members need to be armed with the knowledge and awareness of what it takes to build a product in the appropriate locale or culture. With the drive to microservice architecture and continuous deployment product strategies, how does a monumental task like globalization fit in?

The talk will not only provide a case study of how Hudl tackled the globalization challenge across our platforms (iOS, Android, Web), but will also provide tips and tricks on testing, reliability, and the translation process. In this talk I will cover the following:
- How to start with an MVP (minimum viable product) on globalization
- How globalization fits in a microservice architecture
- How to make globalization scalable inside your organization when there are many parties involved.
If you are a software engineer, quality engineer, quality analyst, or product manager this session will be helpful if you are thinking about internationalizing. In addition, if you are already working with an internationalized product we invite you to attend as this will provide a different engineering, process, and testing angle.
