This book is excellent reading and an extremely helpful reference guide for any beginner or advanced computer science (or computer science-like) student, software (or security, or technology-related) professional, or serious project hobbyists / enthusiasts. The formatting style is very organized and modern, making it very readable and quick to navigate to any of its essential sub topics, which range from Design Principles, to Web Application Vulnerabilities, to Database Security, to Threat Modeling, and much more, which ultimately leads to a very comprehensive security overview, and also includes detailed, practical, leading industry standards, from design paradigms to the specific software tools that are most popularly used in today's day and age. The author of this book, Aspen Olmsted, is both a seasoned veteran of the software development industry, and also a professor, educator, and mentor at top universities. The knowledge and wisdom regarding proper, security conscious software development that he gained through many years of both diverse hands-on industry and education experience, is organized and shared here as a guide that I'll likely reference many times over while working through my projects and gradually improving in the art of professional software development. It will likely save me and my future coworkers many headaches, lead to much cleaner, more professionally designed projects, and help us save time while mitigating potential design-flaw mistakes. This one book alone organizes knowledge from several semesters worth of graduate level security-driven classes into one convenient reference source, which makes its value immense. In this way it pays for itself many times over. If you're involved in this industry, pick up this guide written, reviewed, and compiled by folks who clearly know what they're doing.

I am so glad that I acquired this book. I have a BS in CS and an MS in Cybersecurity, and I am currently building a website for commercial use. This book is invaluable in guiding and "reminding" me what to watch out for as I build my site. You can build the best program but if it doesn't adhere to basic security practices, then it's going to be a flop. I love this book, it will be my go-to book on developing secure software. I always wanted a book like this, it's easy to read and thorough.
