this Nvidia technology is really going to change the way that people interact with their handhelds devices, such as phone, and PDA and it will enables a exciting new class of device that bring arcade quality into the palm of your hand. I'm really excited about these devices. The one that I really like the most is Gizmondo. there's tons of information about Nvidia and Gizmondo on this site.
Chris Shiflett has definitely created a masterpiece that I personally believe only he is capable of. His experience and precise, easy-to-read manner of writing are unparalleled when it comes to PHP security.
One of the things I liked about this book is that you don't need to be sat next to your PC to read it. Though it has many nice and clear code examples, it's mainly about principles and theory. Excellent to have on the bedside table.
It isn't a very thick book, but is written in a clear and accessible style, and I found myself going 'aha' all the way through. I read it quickly but have a feeling that I'll return to it often until all those best practices are memorised and I'm 'doing' them.
What is most useful about this book is the aggregation in one place of descriptions of all of these security attacks and vulnerabilities in PHP code, along with suggestions on dealing with them.
The only specific attack missing which I would like to have seen information about is email spamming through website forms. However the general principles described in the book will help prevent these attacks as well.
This book will definitely be a long-term desktop reference for me and mandatory reading for all the PHP developers in my work place. I would definitely reccomend this book to aspiring PHP developers and think it would also benefit some of the more experienced folks out there.
