Principles of Secure Coding

Secure Coding Practices,

This course introduces you to the principles of secure programming. It begins by discussing the philosophy and principles of secure programming, and then presenting robust programming and the relationship between it and secure programming. We'll go through a detailed example of writing robust code and we'll see many common programming problems and show their connection to writing robust, secure programs in general. We’ll examine eight design principles that govern secure coding and how to apply them to your own work. We’ll discuss how poor design choices drive implementation in coding. We’ll differentiate between informal, formal, and ad hoc coding methods. Throughout, methods for improving the security and robustness of your programs will be emphasized and you will have an opportunity to practice these concepts through various lab activities. A knowledge of the C programming language is helpful, but not required to participate in the lab exercises.

some missing explanations/in-depth analysis

Practices classes are less useful as there are some missing explanations/in-depth analysis to catch the whole picture.

totally engaging with practical

I enjoyed the sessions all the way and it was totally engaging with practical examples.

perhaps written in pseudo-code

I would've got more out of it and found it more interesting if the scope was broader and the examples were a higher level, perhaps written in pseudo-code.

stories would spice things

A couple more real world stories would spice things up and make principles more memorable.
