> Order Number: 4427
> With the spread of web-enabled desktop clients and web-server-based
> applications, developers can no longer afford to treat security as an
> afterthought. In fact, .NET forces you to address the topic since
> Microsoft has placed security-related features at the core of the .NET
> Framework. Even so, carelessness and lack of experience can enable a
> program to be used in an unintended way. This book shows programmers
> how to use. .NET's various tools to write secure applications.

> Each chapter ends with exercises you can use to test your growing

> Safari News
> ================================================
> ***"Go On Safari" Tip of the Week Winner--Vincent Danen, Edmonton Linux 
> Users Group
>
> "Safari is a welcome resource for this book-a-holic in that it saves me
> time and a lot of money.  I regularly buy books and have found with
> Safari that even by cutting back on 2-3 books a year, I can have a
> small Safari bookshelf where I can view around 120 books in a year
> versus owning 2-3.  Now I can review books and buy those ones I know
> will be worth my money, and still get to explore more books than I'll
> ever have time to read.  All in all, Safari is a great resource I'd
> recommend to anyone."
>
> Your group can also participate in this introductory program just for
> user group members. To "Go on Safari," any of your members who sign up
> for our Safari 14-day free trial can send comments on their
> experiences, or tips and tricks for how they used Safari (it only
> needs to be 2 sentences long, but it may be longer) to
> safari_talk at oreilly.com.  (Please include your UG name in the email.)
>
> Every week someone will be chosen from the tips or comments submitted
> to receive fun stuff from O'Reilly (T-shirts, book bags, or other
> surprises). If a member of your user group is selected, your group
> receives free gifts, too. Whatever the individual member receives, your
> UG will get one, too, to give away at your next meeting, or use however
> you see fit. Recipients--and their comments--will be announced in the
> User Group Newsletter.
