Hello saxel-ga,

Would you like sites/resources focused on a particular development
platform or language, or would like that for as many as possible?


Thanks,

kyrie26-ga

Any B2B software development is fine with us.  Language not an issue.

Hi saxel-ga,

Thank you for your question. Since the topic of application security
is so wide, I have structured my answer by categorizing these sites
and resources. The categories are : General,
Platform/Language-Specific, and Server/Networking security.

The General category usually covers best practices in the industry
from the application security standpoint, or resources, tutorials and
discussion sites covering application security.

I included a category for Platform/Language-Specific because from my
experience as an application developer, the best places to go to
discuss application security is to go to a forum that focuses on that
particular platform or language. This is because sometimes you have to
get language-specific to implement security techniques. Some of these
forums may or may not be classified into topical groupings which
include the area of security.

The third group is more specific to servers and networking, which are
closely intertwined with B2B applications.

The list includes tutorials, forums, discussions and general websites.
