Overview

Secure coding is a skill that every web developer needs to ensure they are protected from common vulnerabilities. This course teaches you about those vulnerabilities, how an attacker might exploit them, and how to avoid them in your Python websites.

There are a number of common vulnerabilities that can be exposed by a website which a malicious user can attack. This can result in anything from the website being defaced to the web server and all of its contents being accessed by unauthorized users. In this course, Python Secure Coding Playbook, you’ll learn to protect your websites from attack. First, you'll explore the most common vulnerabilities that you’re likely to see in a website. Then, you'll see what these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to do and how they might do it. Finally, you’ll learn how to write your Python code to protect your website from attack. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the knowledge of secure coding in Python that you need to protect your website from the attacks that it is most likely to face.
