I’m happy to announce that my latest labor of (PHP) love has officially been released – the Securing PHP: Core Concepts ebook is now available over on LeanPub. It’s been a project I’ve been tossing around for a while now and, with encouragement from the stories of others, finally made it a priority.

I’m really happy with how the book turned out – here’s a summary of the book in case you hadn’t see it yet:

Security is a big topic. I mean *really* big. If you break it down into little chunks, there’s lots of important bits to pay attention to but it all really starts with the application. Without good secure coding practices, your application could be doomed from the start. We as PHP developers have had trouble in the past integrating these practices into our day to day development. This book walks you through some of the most common terms and practices, giving you a better picture of the whole of application security.

I’ve just put it on sale this morning and it’s already getting a great reception. You can find out more about the book and pick up a copy on the Securing PHP: Core Concepts ebook page on LeanPub.

Thanks and happy reading!
