Collection of resources for Web App Security?

Question

Can anyone suggest some good resources, preferrably free, that I can read to thoroughly understand the basics of getting my web app secure?

It is being written with a Rails back-end, and regular HTML, CSS, jQuery front-end.

For instance, the proper security practices for handling users login. To storing info in the db, to anything else I might want to know.

Thanks.

Answer 1

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/security.html

Answer 2

• Restful Authentication

• Oauth

These have some basic documentation with them, but these are used by a large number of Rails apps.
