C++ inherits a host of opportunities for type violations from C and adds a few of its own. – Bjarne Stroustrup, "A rationale for semantically enhanced library languages" 

Java Coding Standards

The CERT Java Coding Standard is split into two sections: Java Rules and Java Coding Guidelines.

 

The Java Rules are focused on normative guidelines which must be followed for secure coding best practices. The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java provides rules for Java Platform Standard Edition 6 and Java SE 7. The rules on this wiki are being updated to support Java SE 8. Please create a sign-in account if you are interested in commenting or contributing to these guidelines.

The Java Coding Guidelines  are focused on nonnormative guidelines which are recommended to follow for secure coding best practices, but may be considered more stylistic in their content. The recommendations on this wiki are being updated to support Java SE 8. Please create a sign-in account if you are interested in commenting or contributing to these guidelines.
