Subject: [nycphp-talk] Book recommendations - security, object-oriented
programming

Greetings,

I'm working on a project that has me thinking about purchasing one or two
books.  The topics I'm interested in are:

1.  Security.  Discussion of practices for password storage and retrieval.
Transmission of data in a secure manner, e.g. encrypted, https,
certificates, etc.  Also methods of cleaning/filtering/scrubbing data
received from web forms.

2.  Getting up and running with object-oriented programming in PHP.

Detail:

1.  The project I am working on will allow users to create accounts.  I need
to think about the best way to store their passwords and allow them to
retrieve if lost, change if they so desire, etc.  As the information is
somewhat sensitive there is a possibility I will need to be passing it via
https vs. http.  Scrubbing and filtering the data to make sure nobody is
intentionally or accidentally messing with my application.

2.  To date I have been working primarily with procedural programming
techniques.  I am considering the benefits of object-oriented code for this
project.  Ideally the book would include a discussion of benefits of using
object-oriented code.

Thanks,

-Aaron
