No one technology can really be held above another as secure, each language will allow you to build weakness into you application.

So to learn about Network Security you should read up on the OWASP top ten to get an overview of the problem areas https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Top_Ten_Project This will then allow you to see if your web language can be used in a way to work around the problem areas.

Another good list to show you the layers of protection or working practice needed to release a secure application is the http://webdevchecklist.com/ it is based on an asp.net but many of the items are true across technology.

Hope it helps Jeremy

You can change the topic to general discussion. Or if you want to learn about back-end, then PHP or RoR and such i suppose.

I mean, I don't know, you got 14k points here, I would suppose you know what you are doing and you woudl be more specific , what exactly you want to do?
