Without further ado, please meet our winners…
Application security has always been really important, but with software controlling more and more of our lives and society, it’s essential that developers have security in mind from the start.
Join us Thursday, May 30th, 16:00 PM – 5:00 PM CEST (14:00 – 15:00 GMT / 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EDT) to learn more about how improve the security of the applications you’re developing.
We all know that security is important and you probably care about it a lot. However, we find that handling security issues often means following the analysis offered by a report located in an external system, or reading a PDF.
How can we actually shift security left and make it really easy for developers to avoid using libraries with vulnerabilities? With Snyk’s security tools, you don’t need to leave your favorite IDE to check for vulnerable dependencies during development.
In this webinar, we will show you how every developer can find security vulnerabilities in their project’s dependencies straight from their IntelliJ IDEA project, where they spend the majority of their time.
We will demo a Java web application to show you how to:

As a code base ages, new code is added, and the existing code is modified to meet the business requirements. This can often have a negative impact on the design and structure of the code. Developers may fear working with such code as it is difficult to understand, modify, or extend.
As a developer, you can take redundancy and complexity out of your code, by refactoring it. Refactoring is the process of improving your source code without creating any new functionality. It helps you keep your code SOLID, DRY, and easy to maintain. Even though clean code bases and code refactoring is crucial (code maintenance accounts for about 80% of a project’s cost), it is often avoided or put off because it can break your existing code.
In this blog post, we will take a look at how IntelliJ IDEA can help you to refactor your code safely with Variable refactorings, and talk about some of the dos and don’ts we need to be aware of. Let’s get started. Continue reading
