Announcement of Security focused 43rd DevClub.lv

Hi!

We think, that everyone who tried to build a website in Latvia knows NIC.lv. While we where trying to buy domains and make load on their servers, they where trying to make it fast and secure.

And as a great addition we will get insights on what types of in-vulnerabilities are found in Latvian projects. Be smart and learn on others mistakes!

Come to Security focused event at Wednesday – 1st June 18:30, Zaļā iela 1, 4th floor (Microsoft Latvia office).

Agenda for Security focused 43rd DevClub.lv:

  • Mareks Ruskuls from .LV Registry (nic.lv) will give a talk “Mango – dynamic web from markdown files”.
    Using simple markdown files as content to serve fast, secure and editable webpage.
    How NIC.lv (launched) & CERT.LV (to be launched) is updating webpage without CMS as we know it.
    Presenter will also provide a comparison to traditional web development technology and how Mango approach can help keep web development more structured and improve security by eliminating unnecessary security risks that active components usually fail to do.
