Writing secure code: a practitioner's approach?

Question

I'm looking for a good book on writing secure code, with an emphasis on mobile applications. A practitioner's approach would be better than a academic discussion of the theory/algorithms/etc.

What would you recommend?

'Writing Secure Code' by Microsoft is okay - if a tad Microsoft specific, and you could have a look at 'Developing Secure Mobile Applications for Android' by ISEC

See also Are there any coding guidelines for the Android platform that focus on security? and Android API/development security pitfalls, which are nominally focused on Android -- but actually raise issues that are relevant to every mobile application platform.
