A Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming

I came across the second edition of the Prentice Hall’s “A Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming” by Mark G. Sobell (original link).  This is a rather lengthy book at just over 1,000 pages, covering everything from history of Linux and basic commands, all the way to bash, Perl, and sed, and how things work both on the inside and outside.

It’s probably not one of those books to read from cover to cover, but quite handy to keep as a reference and flip a few pages once in a while.

Web Developer Security Checklist

Web Developer Security Checklist is a good collection of security issues to keep in mind when building web applications.  Not much new in there, but it’s nice to have all of these conveniently gathered in one place.  All items are grouped into a few sections – database, development, authentication, denial of services protection, web traffic, APIs, validation, cloud configuration, infrastructure, operation, etc.
