When I took cs142, it was actually a web security class. It seems that the last few weeks of the class will still be devoted to security. The introduction to Rails was done solely to get students to implement safeguards against the attacks they had learned earlier in the course. The class appears to take the reverse route now, possibly due to student feedback.

Actually, CS 241 is now the web security class. This, from what I was told, was a totally different class that was focused more on web development as a whole, rather than web security.
