Unless you are aware of CSRF, Javascript Highjacking, and the many ways to fool an XSS filter, it's likely that your web application will not be secure. Attackers used to concentrate on ActiveX, but now Javascript, CSS and even simple HTML elements have are used against websites.

We start with a simple web-based multiplayer game, and illustrate how straightforward it is to create advanced effects with minimal coding.

We will look at how DWR integrates with other Ajax libraries like TIBCO GI, Scriptaculous, and the Open Ajax Hub.
