Java secure programming course introduced

Having knowledge of computer security does not mean you can make secure programs. It's especially true for Java, as many have taken Java for granted, assuming the underlying JVM would be doing its magic all the time and keeping all these problems at bay.

Secure programming is a very practical skills which are essentially defined by good practices. And as usual, you have to learn new skills in order to master them. Recently, a Secure Programming Council emerged from the dark in response to that need. In the board, you can see the "most skilled Java programmers in the world". Its main goal is designing an exam framework, laying out the very most essential secure programming practices with Java. Good Java secure programmers are expected to know and master all these skills.

The draft is being out for comments. Once the comment period passed, it should be used to design exams and tests for Java secure programmers. The documents will also be publicly available. Exams for GSSP certificate will be in London next month, and questions based on this draft will amount for a few, without a doubt.
