Jason Harper

Jason joined the Technology Services team in the University Registrar's Office in March, 1997. While there, he played a major role in the expansion of self-service web applications for students, including the introduction of ASU's first web-based registration system. He joined the University Technology Office in 2007 while participating in the PeopleSoft implementation project. As both a Java and PeopleSoft developer, he has continued to help improve the online student experience at ASU. His most recent project was the launch of the new My ASU in July, 2008.  Jason also needs to update this bio...

Jason recently taught a seminar for web developers on how to code web applications to protect against malicious input from end users such as an attacker entering their name as: John Q Attacker';drop table users;--  to try to delete your user database.  Ok, he didn't really teach such a seminar. This paragraph is being used as an example of why generic app firewall appliances aren't always worth the benefit they may provide.
