Our Verdict
The Principles of Secure Coding course offers an invaluable understanding of secure development principles and techniques that can be directly applied in any tech stack. However, the learning experience lacks structure, making it difficult for beginners to follow along, and falls short with practical examples and hands-on exercises tailored to various programming languages. Nonetheless, those looking to brush up on their secure coding practices will benefit from this course's rich overview of important concepts as an introduction or refresher.
What We Liked
- Excellent coverage of secure coding principles, data storage, and OWASP's security vulnerability scanning tool ZAP.
- In-depth explanation of encryption methods, the importance of version control in secure software development, and managing sensitive information.
- Emphasizes real-world examples and best practices to make security more relatable for engineers and developers.
- Broadens knowledge on secure development for both beginners and seasoned professionals.
Potential Drawbacks
- Lacks a structured learning approach, which may not be as effective for those less familiar with the subject matter.
- C#-specific examples may not cater to users working in other programming languages.
- Insufficient practical exercises and hands-on labs limit opportunities to apply new knowledge.
- Minimal focus on client-side security, a crucial aspect of secure coding practices.
