Thumbing your way to Vegas dirty...

Well how's that for a title?!  The title is a bit cryptic in that it's a line from a new INXS song called Pretty Vegas but its not the subject of this post. 

The post is about The Code Room: Breaking into Vegas

So What is "The Code Room" exactly and why is an IT Pro blogging about it.

The Code Room is a 1/2 hour internet TV show that exposes technologists to the latest tools and technologies for tackling real-world software development issues. This professionally produced & directed TV show highlights the social, teaming, and technical challenges faced when attempting to complete a software development project. Our latest installment is all about developer security.

So why am I talking about it?  The main reason being Security.  And everybody should be concerned about security. The show, in a very, very cool way, will demonstrate the impact of a hacked environment (a casino in the show) that has been penetrated and compromised by a group of hackers.  More importantly the show will also illustrate how to defend against the attack and the type of effort it takes to fix this.
