Ruby on Rails and Security [closed]

Question

Has anyone ran across any good Powerpoint presentations on how to securely develop a web application in Ruby?

Answer 1

Rory McCune is a security consultant and Rails developer who gave a presentation on this topic at Scotland on Rails. You can view the slides online. Rory blogs about the topic too.

Answer 2

Peepcode has a PDF book on Rails security - it's $9 but they have a free preview. I've bought a bunch of screencasts from these folks, and they have been great.

Answer 3

Check out the Ruby on Rails Security Project. The offer a free book about this topic.

And of course you should read the Ruby On Rails Security Guide.

Answer 4

The Ruby Security book was joint developed as an OWASP project http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Ruby_on_Rails_Security_Guide_V2

It would be good to have more security related materials at OWASP
