At the risk of coming across like a shill, I loved his "Hack Yourself First" course on Pluralsight. He does a great job of covering the basics of web security that every web developer should know and he makes it interesting by covering it from the attack angle first.

Someday I plan on getting around to subscribing for another month just to go through his newer content.

Troy has a good Web Security course up for free at: https://www.varonis.com/learn/web-security-fundamentals/

Oh yeah, it was great! Social Engineering was my favourite bit of it. Top tip: sign up for Visual Studio Dev Essentials (free) with your Microsoft ID, and you might get a free 6 month subscription. I did, but your mileage may vary.

Lots of interesting posts in his HIBP series here: http://www.troyhunt.com/search/label/Have%20I%20been%20pwned...

Covers things like how he's handling privacy (esp regarding the Ashley Madison hack), scaling, Azure deployment, etc.
