April Meeting - 16 April 2009 6PM
Baked-in SQL Server Security
This month we'll look at best practices for data contained within SQL Server from primarily a developer's perspective. We'll start with the basics of how to relate security to business personnel and take into account security measures from the beginning of the development effort. After that we'll dive into the technical aspects of using the security features of SQL Server to help us protect the data contained within. SQL Server 2000 through 2008 will be covered.
Join us at 6PM on April 16, 2009 at Blackbaud on Daniel Island, for pizza, soda, and a chance to network with local area .NET developers!
