The URL goes to a set of pages for each rule, so you could read it for 
free. Or from Amazon. To be honest, when I understand the basics of a 
language I don't mind paying a bit to learn how to code better and more 
securely.

Humorously, a google search for Ruby security tuned up a page that 
referenced Ruby Security 101. Clicking the link seems to go to a round 
robin redirection to all sorts of sites; a realtor, an engineering firm, 
etc.

With the rise in Go I'm seeing the opportunity to re-think a lot of 
server code that could be cleaned out with a fresh start. Like, does an 
MTA need UUCP today? Maybe I'm wring, but the idea is there. Sadly, my 
skills do not match that needed for my ideas.
