A perfect for beginner but not only

Hi,I'm a mid-expert in java, but did not know much about security, only by words.I've decided to try a book that would give me an overview of the topic but at the same time I wanted a book that would "dirty" my hands in enough code to be able to try out what I was reading.I consider this a perfect book to cover the topic for people that loves to "play" with java code.Max Pellizzarohttp://www.maxpellizzaro.com
