Biography
Douglas Jacobson
… Students can easily understand how things work thanks to the different figures/definitions … students can see the different steps taken to build a secure environment and avoid most of the usual mistakes. … A website (http://www.dougj.net/textbook) is provided to support the book, where the reader can find additional content, like instructor materials, slides to support the book, on-line tutorials, help to start the programming parts. It is not mandatory at all to understand the book, but it is a really nice addition. … the book is really well written, and easily understandable without lacking the rigor required in the domain. …This book won’t get dusty on my shelf, as it contains so [much] precious information, and is enjoyable.
