24 Deadly Sins carries on in the great tradition of the original 19 Deadly Sins but has expanded to cover problems that have developed since then as well as added coverage for more programing languages. It serves as a great introduction to the most common problems in software development that lead to security issues without getting bogged down in the weeds on any of them. It does not go into a great deal of detail so if that is what you are looking for this isn't the book you want but it does do what it sets out to do.

The organization of the book lends itself to a straight read through and as a jump around reference to cover the problems you need to look at when you need to look at them. Most chapters stand alone quite well and most references to other chapters are about closely related sins. It describes the basics of the problem, goes into more detail and helps you try to spot the problem in various languages. It covers some of the ways you can avoid the problems and provides additional remediation if available.

The book lends itself to being a decent text book on software security problems and its basic structure is not a bad approach to an introduction to the topic. I've been teaching an introduction to secure development class for a couple of years that was mostly based on the original book and I'm finishing updating that to the new 24 Deadly Sins breakdown.
