Secure Programming Cookbook for C & C++ by John Viega

Secure Programming Cookbook for C & C++ by John Viega

Because secure code is more essential than ever, this new cookbook covers the full range of computer security needs with more than 200 ready-made solutions. It's a valuable asset for anyone who develops software with these highly popular programming languages.

"This is a book that's long overdue and makes for an interesting and deeply technical read on a topic that we should all core about moreYes, it's limited to C and C++ readers, but with the majority of key applications being written in these languages that's where the biggest benefit can be had - give the sample chapter a read, and you'll soon be on your way to the books store to buy the rest of it." "A powerful and initially somewhat scary book that will quickly get you thinking about security while you program - as opposed to as an afterthought." - Paul Hudson, LinuxFormat, Christmas 03 - Rating 10/10 - Top Stuff Award
