Yeah, I guess so.

Basically I'm looking for some texts which go through the issues that cause the vulnerabilities from a coding point of view and then explain how to avoid/mitigate them. I understand the issues well enough, I'm just not a programmer/code so my knowledge of the actual programmatic constructs required to mitigate the issues is fairly limited.

Take something like SQL Injection or XSS in web applications for example - I know what causes them, I know how to exploit them, but what I don't know is how to actually cure them from a coding point of view. It would be nice to be able to see examples of poor code alongside some best practice code so that I can see that actual differences.
