Topic: The Busy .NET Developer's Guide to Extending .NET Apps with Scripting
Ever wished you could just put parts of your program in end-users' hands and let
them build the infinite little changes they want? Ever thought about how you might
make your application more robust by writing less code, not more? Embed a scripting
engine into your application--complete with the safeguards necessary to ensure that
users can't do anything they shouldn't be able to--and release yourself from the
Principle of Perpetual Enslavement. This presentation will describe how to embed
a scripting engine, discuss the pros and cons of the various ones available, and
how to put enough safeguards around the scripts to make sure that your application
can't be hijacked by bad users' scripts.
