Using the Cryptography APIs in .NET
The .NET framework contains a number of cryptography services that allow
you to incorporate security services into your .NET applications. In this
article, Wei-Meng Lee shows you how to use some of the common security
APIs to make your .NET applications more secure.

Ignite Boston!
The first Ignite Boston will be on Thursday, May 31, from 6 to 10pm at
Tommy Doyle's in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA. From 6-7pm, mingle and
talk tech with your fellow FOOs, alpha geeks, and techies from the greater
Boston area. Join a MAKE challenge team and participate in building
bridges (how much weight can your bridge--made from less than 1,000
popsicle sticks--support?). After that, there will be a special keynote
address from author Scott Berkun ("The Myths of Innovation" and "The Art
of Project Management"). Then onto guest speakers who'll catch you up on
the cool, new, innovative stuff going on in technology today. During
intermissions, get a cold beer and chat with speakers, sponsors, and
O'Reilly's own editors.

Microsoft Developers Ponder the ALT.NET Credo
Is the growing availability of open source, free, and third-party tools,
as well as the passion of their users, finally getting the attention of
.NET developers? Or to ask the question differently, can any .NET
developer these days afford to ignore a solution like Rails or a tool like
NHibernate? For answers to these and more questions, read O'Reilly editor
John Osborn's blog.
