Test the Web Forward Portland
About
If you live in the Portland area, are coming to town for
CascadiaJS 2014 and Dev Week PDX,
or just fancy a visit to the beautiful Rose City, come join us Sunday, August 3rd for
Test the Web Forward Portland 2014.
Serious front-end developers know that security is not just for server-side code anymore. Come learn
how Content Security Policy works to help stop XSS in your apps
from expert Ian Melven of New Relic, who contributed to the implementation for Mozilla Firefox. Then
learn to write tests that will help you explore CSP, make it better and more interoperable, and perhaps
even find a bypass we haven't thought of yet.
