Secure Coding Practices: Writing software that resists attack, in any language. It is a 52-page illustrated PDF from the oJAYo team, written in plain language and up to date for 2026.
Most security vulnerabilities start as ordinary coding mistakes: a missing check, an unsafe query, a secret left in a file, an error handled the wrong way. Secure coding is the set of habits and techniques that prevent those mistakes, so software resists attack from the start rather than being patched afterwards.
This book explains secure coding practices for beginners in a language-neutral way, with short Python examples that were tested. The principles apply equally to JavaScript, Java, C#, Go and other languages.
