The book the modern world needs

Starts with the basics, which is necessary because this might be a dev’s first security lesson. By the time the reader is finished, they not only learn how to think about security from the first part, and how to build and integrate security into their teams and organizations in the third part, but they also get detailed guidance for specific languages and frameworks from the second. This is the book I would write, if I did a ton of research like Tanya obviously did.

I can’t recommend it enough.
