"Every serious developer should have a copy. This book is intended for moderately skilled programmers all the way up to expert level. The best part of the book is that it is written primarily as informational text and theory. It contains very little source code. The authors chose to focus on the practice of secure coding, rather than specific techniques. The information found in this book can provide a strong foundation to the knowledge necessary to begin the secure development process."
