Over the weekend I worked to upload the distribute the Code for Boston Web Application Security Workshop video we took this past Tuesday. In the process of pulling together the video I ended up refactoring Code for Boston’s Social Media presence. To better manage it I discovered a new tool and developed a content strategy.

This past week James O’Keefe presented on web application security and privacy at Code for Boston. His fantastic presentation is below and well worth the hour:

After a few years of living in Boston I have now endured the apartment hunting experience twice. The first time I was looking for a room and roommates in a place near Harvard Law School where my fellowship was located. The second time I started looking for a unit with my girlfriend in Southie. These were different experiences that both turned out to be tougher to surmount than I expected. However I learned there are things you can do to set your expectations and make your apartment hunt go smoother.

Tonight at Code for Boston the folks who run Cryptoparty are going to run a web application security workshop. I asked for this programming to be put together because in my own education about web application development I have found material about security to be lacking or of low quality. Unfortunately much of the mainstream content can be overly alarmist and lack perspective. By bringing in a professional to educate the group about best practices I am hoping to develop a checklist of things that I will think about as I develop my web applications going forward. If you want to tune in we will be broadcasting it on Facebook Live at 7:15 p.m..

My group at the Metropolitan Area Planning Council is hiring a front-end web developer. We currently have a team of three people including two full-stack developers and need someone that can help us with our front-end design and code. We hope to hire someone with design skills. While we sometimes work with a digital designer we have some lighter touch projects that could benefit from a person with just the right amount of design intuition. If you love visualizing data and building charts and data dashboards, this position could be a great fit for you. We want someone that can take our interfaces and visualizations from functional to fantastic. If your passions are JavaScript, CSS, and data then you will probably love working with us.
