Web Application Hacking Workshop 26th April [UK]

I don't normally post about upcoming events (for reference, you can find a list of all upcoming MSDN events in the UK here and an RSS feed of the same here. Oh, and just for reference you can find the TechNet ones here) but as I've been talking about web security and there's a web security event coming up I thought it was worth a mention. It's taking place at our offices in Reading on 26th April and you can find all the details and register here. Below is a summary of the info on the registration page:
