            The Web Application Hacker's Handbook: Finding and Exploiting Security Flaws</a>
            <br/><br/>
            This book is all about black-box testing and gaining the attacker reflexes. It describes the different
            vulnerabilities that can be found in web applications. The book is well structured.
            The technical details can be useful for beginner and intermediate developer/hacker.
            It is almost flawless. You will probably be disappointed by the code review chapter if you are a well-rounded developer.<br/>

            Iron-Clad Java: Building Secure Web Applications</a>
            <br/><br/>
            The particularity of this book is that it isn't technology agnostic. That's not a fault. This means that it focuses
            on Java applications. The guidelines are therefore more specialized.

            Beginning Cryptography with Java</a>
            <br/><br/>
            If you are looking for a cryptography reference, this book focus only on this topic. The content of the book is slightly dated.
            It doesn't cover some modern attack scenarios. This book can still be useful if you want to quickly master the Java Cryptography API.
