Very basic so far. Three lectures called “sql injection” but two of them are devoted to database creation and form preparation.
By Kevin Farias
É um bom curso, aprendi algumas coisas que não sabia, mas dá pra se dizer que é bem básico.
By Ahmed Zaheen

Author is annoying. A lot of times He types something and then decides to change it and again rewrites. His voice is too loud pitched to hear for hours !!! i don't understand why so many positive reviews!!
By Rayees Ahmed Shaikh
Thank edwin for the course, first time i got how the app security can be done in a really effective way.
By Anonymized User
This course looks too trivial. However it might be interesting for very beginners
htmlspecialchars - it is not enough to use it to protected users from XSS. See description http://php.net/manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php
I would suggest to take a look at filter_* functions.
