Curriculum: Finish up "Intro to Security" (1 hour of work or less)

[alodahl]

Here is a very short task, but the catch is it needs to be done before March 6!

Someone with security knowledge needs to finish up this topic outline. The intention is to give apprentices an intro and ways to implement some basic security in their JS/NodeJS projects. Thank you!

• [x] Please define/explain CSRF & XSS.
• [ ] Topic outline needs more clear directions for the independent practice steps 5&6. Just because there are links doesn't mean that the apprentice knows what they are looking for...it's a bit TOO challenging.
• [x] Topic outline needs short check for understanding so students can self-assess security knowledge

• [ ] Topic outline needs 1-3 example companies and their use of tech security under the "motivation" section.

• Here is the accompanying slideshow. Ask for permission if you'd like to change this, too.

Hey @alodahl 👋 Just started looking through these slides and I've got a few suggestions (mostly in providing some further explanations and breaking up massive slides into more approachable bits). Permissions would be great

I can also work on the second and third checks––this'll just end up being a really long lesson/deck. Let me know what your thoughts are :)

[alodahl]

@bobbylcraig thank you so much!🤩We definitely need that for the slides. I've changed the permissions for you...let me know if you need anything else.

FWIW I looked through the outline last night and started to wade through the slideshow last night. The outline looks pretty good AFAIAC. It _is_ an enormous lesson.

Will continue to look through slideshow (hopefully finish) tonight.

@bobbylcraig Do you have a sense for how long it might take for a beginner to work through?

[bobbylcraig]

It's hard to tell. It's 15 slides now and still needs broken into more and to have extra content added. Could end at 30 slides. A minute or two spent on a slide?...I guess it adds up?

What's the general range we shoot for in terms of lesson duration?

[alodahl]

Going through the entire outline should take one hour, but two should be fine if you agree that everything in there is really valuable.

@bobbylcraig How's the slideshow coming?

[bobbylcraig]

Will finish it up tonight! Sorry! Got stuck in the middle of a move

[bobbylcraig]

Hey! It should be updated and ready for re-review? I added a little bit and trimmed some slides––tried to keep it as short as possible though.

@bobbylcraig The slideshow is so much better, thank you!! 🏆
