Speaking at Day of .NET
The fine folks putting together Day of .NET (Ann Arbor, MI May 13, 2006) have selected two [out of five] of the abstracts that I submitted. My sessions are:
Life with LUA: Developing for Fun and Fortune as a Non-Admin
Abstract: As developers, we’ve been hearing that we should not run with administrative priviledges on our computers, but how do you develop software as a non-admin (and why should you)? This talk will discuss the reasons for developing as non-admin and look at the non-admin future (UAC) coming in Windows Vista. You’ll also get the scoop on problems that non-admin raises and solutions for those as well various tools, techniques and experiences developers have encountered along the way.
Audience: 200 level session
Securing Your Mobile Data
Abstract: The mobility field has grown – in maturity and presence. Fortunately, this growth has brought many things with it, but has it brought security? How can I secure my Windows Mobile devices, the data they carry, and the .NET Compact Framework applications I build for them? How do I securely access data for and from my applications? Which wireless technology should I use (or avoid)? How do I maintain data integrity? You’ll see how you can leverage your .NET (and .NET CF) knowledge to keep your data secure. This session will illustrate some answers via .NET Compact Framework on Windows Mobile 5.0 as well as discuss some open-source alternatives.
Audience: 300 level session
