Secure Coding – Java
-
Java is a high-level, general-purpose programming language that, once compiled, can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM), regardless of the underlying infrastructure. Except for the Write Once, Run Anywhere (WORA) advantage, Java also provides automatic memory management, thread management, automatic garbage collection, and a powerful cross-platform library. These benefits combined have made Java one of the most preferred programming languages, especially for client-server web applications.

Course description
Handling potential errors in code is essential to protecting against many of the attacks described in this learning path. However, developers need to maintain a careful balance between providing too much and too little information in error messages. This course describes how going too far in one direction or another can leave an application vulnerable to attack.
