'''Summary of the meetup''' | |||
The meetup started with the following presentations: | |||

Extra thanks to Sean who then left for emergency dental treatment - #trooper. | |||
In the next session, Geraldine demoed her latest app, for the medical industry, which she delivered on schedule with more features than originally specified – really highlighting the benefits of developing with DataFlex. | |||
We briefly touched on security for DataFlex developers, with Dennis (DAW) reminding of us the new level of security in DF 2020 Beta 1. Dennis also requested that we all engage with Beta 2 (which is coming soon) for a solid review phase. The security talk moved on to talk of security in the Cloud, with a few real life, yet amusing, horror stories of ransomware attacks. | |||
'''Other subjects discussed:''' | |||
* Quick presentation on [https://vdf-guidance.com/ContribPage.asp?Page=SOFTGENSQLQUERIE&ContribRecId=147 SQLQuery Tool from Bob Worsley] by Wil - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1NiK6yikQo&t=25s See video presentation] | |||
* Question relating to Antivirus software ‘quarantining’ .exe files. Suggested advice included: | |||
** From Wil ‘signing the files’ | |||
**From Clive using ‘GoGetSSL’ [https://www.gogetssl.com/reseller-program/ GoGetSSL] | |||
**Docs to read (from Dennis) [https://docs.dataaccess.com/dataflexhelp/mergedProjects/DeploymentGuide/Code_Signing.htmFrom DataFlex Help Code Signing] and [https://support.dataaccess.com/Forums/showthread.php?57486-Has-someone-tried-quot-Let-s-encrypt-quot&p=357302 Has someone tried 'Let's encrypt'?] | |||
* Question regarding SSL certificates and encryption. | |||
**The service 'Certify the web' (https://certifytheweb.com/) is used by some in the group. | |||
**It was also suggested that it’s possible to avoid using certificates by running applications through Cloudflare (https://www.cloudflare.com/). | |||
