Have you ever considered a database primer? A very simple presentation could be built around a handful of ideas:

1) Vocabulary demystification, column=field, tuple=row=record, relation=table, foreign key = reference, primary_key = "code" or unique value

2)  Why you can do so much with primary and foreign keys

3)  Is normalization a black art, or a simple matter of technique

4) What do people mean by denormalization, why do some people hate it so much? Why do others say it is no big deal?

5) Finally, why programmers have trouble with databases and why database people have trouble with code, the so-called "impedance mismatch".


I'd be happy to prepare something.

Hey all,

Some application penetration testing would be fun.

Maybe using both tools (nessus) and scripts, brute forcing, cookie
altering, sql inject.

I dont know if that's something to put together in the next week, but
I would donate time to providing a portion of what's listed.

That's not a bad idea - maybe a cooperative presentation on a specific set
of topics?

Just some thoughts.

Would be great to have you present.
Anyone have any topic requests?

My favorite topics are web application security, sessions, and
testing. I can also speak about DTD strategies:
