Application Security Weekly (Video)

Static analysis is the art of scrutinizing your code without building or running it. Common static analysis tools are formatters (which change whitespace and other trivia), linters (which detect likely best practice and style issues), and type checkers (which detect likely bugs). Each of these can aid in improving application security by detecting real issues at development-time. Segment Resources...
