> Do universities/bootcamps teach OWASP-style classes of programming vulnerabilities these days? Some developers are curious enough to learn them on their own, but many are oblivious.
I had exactly one course that touched on security.
A course in web programming.
The instruction we received consisted of: "If your project is not secure, it will lose points."
I'm not sure a single person on that class had one point taken off for getting security wrong.
Why would a university care about educating people in something ephemeral, and domain-specific, like security, when it could instead be teaching them about complexity theory and Djikstra, and third normal form?
