| OWASP: The Top 10
Most Critical Web Application Security Vulnerabilities |
The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) has outlined the top 10 most
critical web application security vulnerabilities. The list is presented in a
fashion similar to the successful FBI/SANS Top 20 List. The SANS list is
focused on flaws in particular widely used network and infrastructure products.
Because each website is unique, the OWASP Top Ten is organized around
particular types or categories of vulnerabilities that frequently occur in web
applications.

Nielson & Mahie Tahir: Homepage Usability: 50 Websites Deconstucted |
While there is a plethora of books available that provide tips on Web design,
most authors leave a significant gap between the theory and practice--a gap
that is left up to the reader to fill. The book boldly steps into that gap with
specific observations and suggestions backed with solid quantitative analysis.
This book focuses only on home page design as the most important point of
presence for any Web site. This definitive work is coauthored by Jakob
Nielsen--the accepted industry expert in Web usability--and Marie Tahir, an
expert in user profiling. Their collaboration has produced a guide of such rare
practical benefit that Web designers will likely wear out their first copy
scouring the pages to savor every last morsel of wisdom. Topics covered: Design
guidelines, convention usage, screen real estate, navigation, content
presentation, search facilities, links, graphics and animation, advertising,
news, customization, and customer feedback.--Amazon.com

Segal: Futurize Your Enterprise |
Siegel turns his attention to developing a corporate online presence aimed at
meeting consumer needs. He cautions readers to throw off their old
bricks-and-mortar mindsets and focus not on "how to build a Web site but how to
build a Web business." Siegel divides the book into four parts--"Principles,"
"Practice," "Prototypes," and "Predictions"--that moves from "tools and
methodologies you'll need to transform your management-led organization into
what I call a customer-led company," to fictional case studies that show how
these techniques may be applied today, to speculative future scenarios "in
which the Internet is no longer a tool but a platform for work,
community-building and individual empowerment."--Amazon.com
