Guide Review - Book Review: Programming .NET Security
Plenty of books hit the shelves on .NET programming. There are books on ADO.NET, Visual Basic.NET, ASP.NET, C#.NET, .NET components - and the list goes on and on.
Until now there wasn't a book that specifically or sufficiently covered the very important aspect of not only programming for .NET- but programming securely.
Adam Freeman and Allen Jones have put together a clear and concise book covering every aspect of what you need to know to program securely for .NET. Do not pick this book up though without having a working knowledge- or better yet proficiency- with at least one of the underlying program languages though. The book assumes you know programming already and jumps straight into how to do so securely.
The authors do an expectional job covering cryptography and provide examples in both C# and Visual Basic code to help you implement security in your code. This book serves well to teach as well as to sit nearby on the shelf as a day to day reference source.
As a programmer you should do what you can to develop responsible and secure code and this book will help you to do that. This is a must-read book for programmers.
