Try Coding Classes

The Program Design ToolKit

Coding requires a toolkit, a suite of underlying tools that help us get things done at higher levels.

In this module we'll understand the importance of the following elementary tools required to be worry free while coding out there in the wild.

  • A CellPhone Account
  • An Email Account
  • A Key Manager
  • A Second Factor Authentication (2FA)

We will try sticking to the more OpenSource and PrivacyCentric alternatives.

Fun Fact : Information Security is such a cross-cutting concern that, to ensure that bugs are caught and eliminated with healthy confidence sooner than later, several organzations offer OpenSource software such that the code is publically auditable and fixable by the masses.

Suitable For : Anyone who is curious about exploring the initial details around the theory and practice of information security and about exploring additional efficiency in their existing workflows, in a free and secure manner1.

Requirements : This is a non-coding module and the coursework requires only gathering access to the listed services.

Outcome : A setup for managing secure access to all coding related services for the foreseeable future.

Fee : None

Maximizing information security would require an organization to self host their own solutions from FOSS code, which, is not practical for starters on the public internet services.
