Hello all,
I'm looking at building a website and extranet on my CentOS server for my home business. I use PHP for my intranet but I hear PHP is a big security sieve. Can anybody recommend good books on website security and development? Which procedural language should I use to do this?
O'Reilly Linux Server Security ISBN 0-596-00670-5 is a great foundation to work on.
Personally I am looking at moving away from PHP and more to Zope/Python as this is reputedly more secure. Whether that will still be true as it becomes more popular is to be seen.
