My book, and some others (but who wants those? *grin*) are now available as DRM-free PDFs, at 35% off the print price. For now you’ll need to enter FROST as a coupon code to get the lower price, but apparently the Wrox site will be updated soon to have the lower prices … Technorati Tags: EBook,PDF,Wrox
A couple of mistakes in chapter 8; On page 197 the command to create a user within a database needs more explanation, so the whole paragraph should read Adding a user to a database Just because a login exists and can connect to SQL Server it doesn’t gain access to any databases. You must first grant an account access to the database. You can do this with the following SQL command: USE [exampleDatabase] GO ...
Wrox will be offering an official errata on the book’s page soon. The index refers to XMLTs with a reference to page 234 , that page correctly calls them XSLTs. On page 128 comments in the sample code misspell encryption as “encyrption”. Figure 6.2 on page 133, diagrams asymmetric encryption not symmetric encryption as the figure label states. In other news Dan Maharry thinks the book is splendid. Technorati Tags: Securing ASP.NET,Errata,Wrox
#1 of what will be doubtless many. Right now I’ve started to put things away, so I don’t know when I’ll have the ability to produce a proper errata to Wrox requirements, so rather than have you struggle I’m posting the correction(s) here. Listing 10-11 on page 251 is incorrect, and if ran no X509 signing certificate will be extracted, although the XML signature will be verified. The code should be as follows: public static bool VerifySignature(XmlDocument document, out X509Certificate signingCertificate)
{
// Create a new SignedXml object and load
// the signed...
Last year Wrox switched from having happy, smiling, chin posing authors on their book covers to, well, to random images with a bit of red. So for those of you that have pre-ordered you’ll be happy to know that you won’t have me smiling out from your book shelf. Instead you’ll get an image which encapsulates my interest in exercise and sports. Errr, well, someone’s interest in exercise and sports. Never fear though, I am on the inside … Note for Americans – this image is from a game called football by the rest of the world. The...
So about an hour ago the last edits to the proof went off to the proof reader, which hopefully means, after a year, it’s all done. You may be pleased to learn that, as I’ve taken so long, it will be published using the new, better quality paper and will not have my mug shot on the cover. (When discovering this my smart assed nephew said “That’s good, people won’t judge the book by its cover”.) The final details are as follows: Beginning ASP.NET Security Wrox Press ISBN : 978-0470743652 Pages :...
Alex Mackey tweeted yesterday that his book was available for pre-order on Amazon so vanity got the best of me – so I checked and mine is available too. It grows ever more real and scary, although not as scary as the cover (which is now on its third iteration but I still can't convince them to use Oliver's alternative version) … Pre-order from Amazon UK Pre-order from Amazon US Technorati Tags: ASP.NET,Wrox,Vanity
I was emailed the second draft of the book cover today, which makes it scarily real. But not half as scary as what Oliver did with it. Ah the MVP community – we’re a tight bunch of nits … Technorati Tags: Wrox,Book Cover,Books,ASP.NET,Security,MVP
Well; in a few months anyway. A month or so ago I saw a tweet flit past asking for someone who has ASP.NET security knowledge; someone pointed the user my way. I assumed it was someone just asking for advice, so I sent off something along the lines of "What do you need to know?". It turns out the recipient was part of Wrox Press and he was after knowledge, on the shape of a book. So after some pondering and pointing out I thought it had been done to death we both came up with, what...
