Intelligentedu Free Computer and I.T. Books

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP.org) has written and published a free 293-page book detailing how to build and develop Secure Web Applications. This guide carefully explains many common  web security issues, such as cross site scripting and SQL injection vulnerabilities. It provides information about securing most forms of web applications and services, along with real world guidance using J2EE, ASP.NET, and PHP samples. It also discusses Microsoft's Threat Risk Modeling strategy, as well as several other security methodologies, such as Trike, CVSS, AS4360, and Octave. Here is a zip download of the guide. OWASP also provides some excellent Web Security Presentations and Web Security Papers.
