Time to dust-off the laser pointer
September 8th, 2011
It looks like it’s time to dust off my old laser pointer as I’m going to be co-hosting training sessions again! Back when I was at Visionsoft I hosted over 100 session over the years (the vast majority on my own) and I used to really enjoy them (ok, I didn’t enjoy 5am starts and 600 mile daily round trips so much).
The good news is, in an attempt to grow the consultancy side of the business, we’re hosting a number of small group, low cost, training sessions, on everything from PCI-DSS compliance to brand security, content monetization to conversion optimization. But most importantly, I get to take off my sales hat and actually get involved with the teaching.
I’ve been keeping my hand in a little by talking at events like Barcamps and Northern Bloggers, but this’ll be my first time doing it for paying people in a couple of years and I’m very very excited.
My first one is “Brand Security”, it’s basic online security aimed at people responsible for things like WordPress websites, twitter accounts and facebook fan pages of other companies (i.e. digital agencies and web design studios), who don’t have much of a background in IT security and we’ll be talking about things like hardening WordPress, XSS attacks, pass phrase management (especially between multiple users), threat modelling, as well as how to clean up after you are compromised.
If you want to come along, it’s £185 for a 1/2 day course, held at Calls Wharf in the centre of Leeds on 28th Sept. More info at http://brandsec.codingfutures.co.uk/ . I have to admit, I’m really really excited about training again!
