In this lecture we will look at how we write and how we can influence the security of the code by writing it in a different way. We will look at constructs in the code and borrow a bit from modern Domain Driven Design to help make the code more secure. We will also challenge some of the ways developers typically write software. The lecture should be relevant to both junior and experienced developers.
Key takeaway
How we can write more secure code with less flaws by making changes to how we construct the code.
Content level
Deep-dive
