This is the follow-up to "Writing Secure Code" by the same authors. The same book is $17 at amazon.com:

Hmmm, didn't work for me. I signed up, but at the end was prompted to open or download a .pl file.

The site uses a perl script called pdf_loader.pl to load up the PDF document that contains the book. Do you have Adobe Reader installed on your computer?

That's like a double oxymoron.
Microsoft telling people how to write secure code for an insecure OS they wrote. Hah.
Thanks though OP.

got the same message downloading in FF - just download/save it and rename it as a .pdf.
thanks OP

Couple of comments about the link above ...

1) This "direct-download" link worked for me ONLY when I pasted it DIRECTLY into my FreeDownloadManager (http://www.freedownloadmanager.org), and it worked perfectly (FYI: e-book is 15.4MB).

2) When I browsed (Firefox 3) directly to the link, I got a sign-up page, then a download page for "selected chapters" of three different books.

3) I got this SAME "direct-download" link after going through the SAME sign-up page (also successful), from the OP's original link.

Dunno if I'll make any real use of it (still running XP, not doing any "professional" development at the moment), but I'm a sucker for "free" e-books! :)
