Other Works
In 1999 Wheeler released the book-formatted webpage "Secure Programming for Linux and Unix HOWTO". It targeted software developers (instead of security experts) and talked about the specifics of how to develop secure programs, including how to avoid buffer overflows and cross-site scripting (XSS) in widely used programming languages.
Wheeler has also developed a webpage that identifies what he believes to be the most important software innovations. He said that "humankind has been impacted by major new innovations in software technology... but the number of major new innovations is smaller than you might expect". At the end, he was amused that his own criteria for "the most important software innovations" listed only things first implemented as open source software, and nothing that have been created by Microsoft (as he singled out).
