About the Course

This course introduces you to the principles of secure programming. It begins by discussing the philosophy and principles of secure programming, and then presenting robust programming and the relationship between it and secure programming. We'll go through a detailed example of writing robust code and we'll see many common programming problems and show their connection to writing robust, secure programs in general. We’ll examine eight design principles that govern secure coding and how to apply them to your own work. We’ll discuss how poor design choices drive implementation in coding. We’ll differentiate between informal, formal, and ad hoc coding methods. Throughout, methods for improving the security and robustness of your programs will be emphasized and you will have an opportunity to practice these concepts through various lab activities. A knowledge of the C programming language is helpful, but not required to participate in the lab exercises....

I think the course quality is good as an introduction to secure coding and building a foundation for future studies. However, it appears that there is no active teacher assistant monitoring the course as a question that I asked several weeks ago is still unanswered. The instructors would need active monitoring to improve the course quality.

It was not easy to follow, especially week 3.

The content on slides is not clear.

Many of the variable names in the code are not clear, do not reflect their use, and difficult to read.

The full code should be provided at the begining, many times the slides refere to variable in the code, which I didn't know what they were.

Finally, I always prefer interactive learing experince, where the instructor write code, solve a problem, etc. Presenting slides and commenting on them does not, in my opinion, provide a good teaching experince. There are many youtube vedios that are amazing for learning new stuff.
