Security in PHP Applications: An absolute must!

I thought the topic was well presented but I was hoping for more advanced information on how to implement in PHP. I already knew all about the different kinds of vulnerabilities. I would have liked more code samples and discussion on frameworks. But for somebody who is new to security issues, this would have been perfect.

The presenter was well organized and the class overall was good. I was already acquainted with enough of the information in the class on a general level that I think the presenter needed to have more specifics to benefit a lot of us. If you're at the point where you're trying to secure your applications, you probably already have a working knowledge of many of the pitfalls you're trying to protect against. He made the assumption that we didn't know them--which could have benefitted some of the people in the class--but I thought it could have been better with more specifics. Overall I can't complain. This was a very good class, and he did a good job teaching it.

Perhaps this class could have been more of a panel discussion with three to four security professionals shooting various ideas back and forth and giving various ways they might have been solved.
