security talk by Landon Noll in Zurich, 18/19/20 September (tbd)
by Simon Leinen 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

I'm posting this on behalf of my friend Adrian Steinmann. Hope it's not considered off-topic! Anyway, if interested, please participate in the doodle. I'll post the final date & place to the list. Enjoy!-- Simon. ------------------------------ snip ------------------------------ Landon Noll http://www.isthe.com/chongo/bio.html will be in Zurich, Switzerland Sept 18-20 and has prepared a 40-minute talk which he would enjoy presenting to us, if there is interest. Failures of Shallow, Inconsistent & Incomplete Security With a number of best security practices, great security concepts and sincere security implementations, why do security systems fail? Many fail because the security is trivial, inconsistent and/or incomplete. Trivial security may be ridiculed as being useless. Inconsistent security may be blamed on logic faults, or on the poor implementation of a sound idea. But of the three, it is the incomplete security flaws that are often the hardest to identify and most difficult to fix. Worse still, attacks on systems with incomplete security often produce the most devastating results. We will look at security failures, from the historic to the modern, for examples of the trivial, inconsistent and incomplete security: with takeaway lessons that will help you avoid repeating those mistakes. Please fill out the poll http://doodle.com/uhend5rbrkw5ewsu so I can gauge interest. I will finalize by mid September, starting time would be 18:00 unless a majority of you mention in comment that it should be later. Thanks Adrian

Kinder die Programmieren lernen wollen
by Tobias Oetiker 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hi, Today, the 10 year old son of a friend of mine, wrote me an email, asking me how to learn to program. I did some research and found code-monster (www.crunchzilla.com/code-monster) seems ideal. Only that the english abilities of most 10 year olds in switzerland are not up to this. I asked the author of the system, if there is a way to translate the course. And indeed there is ... If you would like to help translating this to german, and thus help more swiss (and german and austrian) kids get an early start with programming, please drop me a line. I will give you access to a google spread sheet with all the text that needs translating. It is 520 paragraphs ... cheers tobi -- Tobi Oetiker, OETIKER+PARTNER AG, Aarweg 15 CH-4600 Olten, Switzerland http://it.oetiker.ch tobi(a)oetiker.ch ++41 62 775 9902 / sb: -9900
