Last-minute papers announced for VB2008
Schedule for hot-topic technical 'turbo' talks announced.
VB has unveiled the schedule for a series of up-to-the-minute technical presentations at the VB2008 conference which takes place 1-3 October in Ottawa, Canada.
The eight 'last-minute' presentations include material on today's hottest topics, with the papers being selected just days prior to the start of the conference, to avoid the deadline constraints associated with traditional conference papers.
This year's last-minute presentations include papers on anti-malware testing, in-the-cloud security, South American banking trojan trends, rogueware and security of the iPhone.
The full schedule and abstracts for the presentations is here.

VB100 certification
The final VB100 of the year sees a double whammy of potential
pitfalls for our comparative participants - the
Vista operating system, which still seems shiny
and new as well as a little scary (to both developers and users), as well
as the x64 architecture, whose ostensible compatibility with standard
32-bit software belies oddities and intricacies that developers ignore at
their peril. The announcement of the test brought a few surprises, as
several regulars opted to skip this one, but the majority of veteran
competitors took part as usual, along with several newer faces, many of
whom look set to join the ranks of our regulars.
